I am writing my bachelor thesis and I am introducing more and more newcommands, but I tend to forget them. Is there a way to display all user created new commands, like a make a list or a table? I could make a table myself, but I would have to update it every time I add more commands. Weirdly enough I could find nothing online about this. Thank you all in advance

tex does not keep track of definitions made, you need to do this yourself – David Carlisle Jan 17 '23 at 12:31
ther are package such as glossaries and acronyms that help make specific lists of certain types of command – David Carlisle Jan 17 '23 at 12:33

Alternatively, put all of your \newcommand’s in the same file, and format the file nicely so that it is easy to get an overview and look up definitions. – Gaussler Jan 17 '23 at 12:34
It's semi-possible but not recommended for typical users luatex - tex.hashtokens incomplete? - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange – user202729 Jan 17 '23 at 12:39

If you tend to forget about your new macros, maybe they aren't necessary? I'd only make a new macro for things needed frequently. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jan 17 '23 at 12:39
@user202729 I wasn't going to mention that:-) – David Carlisle Jan 17 '23 at 12:47
you could define a \trackmycommand{commandname} command and use it together with your \newcommand. – Ulrike Fischer Jan 17 '23 at 14:47
