Installing and Uninstalling RPM packages

Red Hat Linux Distributions use a very powerful package manager called rpm. It is used whenever you need to install/remove/upgrade/etc a software package. The packages used by rpm use the extension `.rpm'. git provides default key bindings for some of the basic operations rpm can perform on packages: install, uninstall, upgrade and query.
