Is there a conda to uv migration tutorial written by anyone?

I have installed miniconda system-wide. For any Python package that I use a lot, I install them on base environment. And on other environments. Like ipython.

For every new project, I create a conda environment, and install everything in it. Upon finishing/writing my patch, I remove that environment and clean the caches. For my own projects, I create an environment.yaml and move on.

Everything works just fine. Now, the solving with mamba is fast. I can just hand someone the code and environment.yaml, and it runs on other platforms.

Can someone say why using uv is a good idea? Has anyone written a migration guide for such use cases?

I am mightily impressed by one line dependency declaration in a file. But I don't know (yet) where the caches are stored, how to get rid of them later, etc.
