rdm is a dotfiles manager written entirely in the bash scripting language using only basic utils, that are present in all GNU/Linux distributions and are available for others, like BSD distributions. rdm is distributed under the GNU Public licence 2, so feel free to modify and redistribute it.
The idea behind rdm unlike most dotfiles managers, is that you grab all your dotfiles into a rdm repo once, and then only edit them from there. This allows for install-time substitution of keywords with user defined values. This means that for example if you like a consistent colorscheme in your system, you don't have to replace color codes over all your files, instead you define a variable. You can also execute any external command at install-time and use it's output as a value for a keyword. This allows for you to have a setup that dynamically updates when you use a different computer.
