Is there a way to dump the list of installed package to be used as a basis for a new installation with tlmgr ? The same way pip works:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

then later, after a fresh git clone

pip install -r requirements.txt

    See for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13939038/how-do-you-run-a-command-for-each-line-of-a-file on how to run tlmgr on each line of the package list file, which will install all packages on a new system. Alternatively, tlmgr accepts multiple packages as arguments, so you can also write something yourself that generates a command like tlmgr install package_1 package_2 ... package_n and run that. – Marijn Feb 12 '20 at 12:37
  • Yes that's my current solution, but I'd rather avoid using a custom shell script for that if tlmgr knew how to do it. – Luke Skywalker Feb 12 '20 at 12:40
