How to copy grades' categories from a course to another?

Question

I use the same categories as grade structure for many courses in my institution. And I know how to create categories inside each course by hand. But, I am interesting in a way to copy categories from one course to another, or even better a way to create categories programmatically.

Thanks in advance.

Screenshot  from "Manage Grades" with a sample  with categories in a course.

Great, It works.

During the process, I had to check grades and grade settings to copy the grading system configured previously.

You can use the import export copy components tool from the course without the grades to copy the course with the grades.​
