Homebrew installed formulae file

I'm looking for a solution to save all installed formulae, similar to what package.json does for npm, or any other package manager with it's config file.

Is this possible with homebrew?

There is! brew tap homebrew/brewdler and brew brewdle dump. See brew brewdle help for details.

I use this:

for p in $(brew list); do brew info $p; done > brewconfig.txt

If you wanted something a little more complete and legible:

#!/bin/bash
brew list > brew-packages.txt
for p in $(brew list); do
   brew list $p > brew-$p-files.txt
   brew info $p > brew-$p-config.txt
done

which gives this
