Elsewhere:
This uses the standard GNU autotools, so it's the normal dance:
curl -LO https://thoughtbot.github.io/rcm/dist/rcm-1.3.4.tar.gz &&
sha=$(sha256 rcm-1.3.4.tar.gz | cut -f1 -d' ') &&
[ "$sha" = "9b11ae37449cf4d234ec6d1348479bfed3253daba11f7e9e774059865b66c24a" ] &&
tar -xvf rcm-1.3.4.tar.gz &&
cd rcm-1.3.4 &&
./configure &&
make &&
sudo make install

Programs
- rcup(1) is the main program. It is used to install and update dotfiles, with support for tags, host-specific files, and multiple source directories.
- rcdn(1) is the opposite of rcup(1).
- mkrc(1) is for introducing a dotfile into your dotfiles directory, with support for tags and multiple source directories.
- lsrc(1) shows you all your dotfiles and where they would be symlinked to. It is used by rcup(1) but is provided for your own use, too.
