https://www.archlinux.fr/man/yaourtrc.5.html
yaourt is a bash script compiling programs from source (usually C++ cloned from some github) and installs into Linux automatically. In Manjaro, it works right out of the box, saving a lot of manual configuration.
yaourt is a standard installer in distros Manjaro and archLinux and popular in Ubuntu too.
The standard yaourt puts sources in /tmp where they disappear after install.
So if you want to work on the sourcecodes, you might want to edit /etc/yaourtrc.
