pixi global install --import ./environment.yml OR something similar

Problem description

I would like a way to keep track of global packages. This would be useful when using other machines. Right now I have to keep a list of global packages in a random text file. For example there are some packages that I need to use on random, one time, directories. For example yt-dlp. Therefore access in any directory is needed but I can't have an environment.yml for example that I can use to keep track of this packages when going from one machine to another machine. It is really useful to have pixi init --import ./environment.yml and pixi.toml for projects but is there a way to have something like that for global packages/environment?

Our global environment is not one environment. Every package is installed into its own environment. Like pipx does for pypi packages.

The solution to this request is closely related to #1280.

I saw the example you gave, it seems like a good option. Hoping something like that gets implemented. And thank you for the quick reply:)
