I reinstalled my OS (actually, a jump to an adjacent distro) just last night and was thankful I had set up a dotfiles manager (yadm [0]). yadm is a git wrapper, so a yadm repository is pretty much a git repository. `yay -Qe | cut -f 1 -d " " > .config/packages.txt` to back up my packages (without version), push to remote, and then `cd ~ && yadm clone -f <remote> && yay -S $(cat .config/packages.txt)` to reinstall everything. Piece of cake. The only thing I am missing is tracking system files, like /etc/pacman.conf, and it looks like there's a way to do it with yadm, but it looks a bit clunky and I haven't tried.
