I'm setting up a new machine and would like advice on how to transfer the custom formatting I've done over the last five years? I already transferred the library "refs.bdb" (the name I use). I can see all my reference entries. So that's good.
Is there a straightforward way to get my various format modifications over? I don't mind copying/pasting the formats I use. I only use a few formats like BibTeX and Chicago that have unique changes. If there is a better way, I couldn't find it when I searched the manual (though, it is entirely possible I was looking in the wrong section). e.g., I modified "BibTeX.fmt" to include subtitles by using the "u20" variable. I made other tweaks unique to my workflow so that when I sync my library to a bibtex file, the "refs.bib" file is formatted in a way that works with my unique use of Biblatex/Pandoc/Quarto.
And if anyone has any other tips about managing this transfer, please do share those well.

This is a duplicate thread, which is confusing, so please delete it (or I can delete it for you if you prefer).
