Command to create new Pixi environments from requirements.txt or environment.yml files

[jacobj45]

Description

It would be great to have a command that can create new Pixi environments from existing requirements.txt (pip) or environment.yml (conda) files.

Motivation

Having such a command would make it easier for existing projects that use these files for dependency management to migrate to Pixi.

You can already import an environment.yml during init via pixi init —import

Thanks, could not find any references to this while going through the docs.

Does this command also work with requirements.txt?

[olivier-lacroix]

Nope, it does not sorry.
