Where are the terminal settings stored in Ubuntu (for transferring to another PC)?

Where are the settings stored in Ubuntu, can I restore them all in one fell swoop after reinstalling the system?
I do not want to click again with the mouse to configure everything.
I mean this - color, font, window size, etc.

Ubuntu uses gnome-terminal and the settings are stored in dconf at /org/gnome/terminal.
You can make a backup copy of all settings like this:
To restore everything from the terminal-backup file, you can do this:
dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/ < terminal-backup

Did you most likely mean terminal emulator?
Which one? There are about a dozen of them under Xy.
And, in general, user settings are stored in ~. Transferring ~ to another system ensures that all your settings are in place. According to XDG, applications should store their settings in $HOME/.config unless you override the appropriate variable. And when asking questions, you need to clarify exactly whose settings you need.
