Copy setup of GA and GTM from one account to another without copying data

How can I copy setup of GA and GTM from one account to another without copying data?

According to the documentation it is not possible:

All reporting data associated with a property is moved (not copied) to the destination account.

But maybe someone knows some kind of a trick?

Thank you.

The documentation you linked is about property moving, which is basically Google's term for moving GA data from one account to another. So in that case moving the data is the whole point. It is true however that you cannot easily copy a GA configuration - the closest would be to set up properties and views programmatically via the management API, but that is a lot of work (too much if you only want to do this once) and still does not cover all the settings.

You can easily move a GTM installation from one GTM account to another. Just export the container in the admin section and import it in the admin section of the new account. This will not copy any data.
