I have made a layer. I want to rotate it and duplicate then rotate it for the same amount of angle as in previous step.
Is there a shortcut for repeating these actions ?

Gimp doesnt have actions.

You can install the Clone Layer Tool:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/25422

It can duplicate layers (or autocropped objects on layers) and perform repeated actions, like Move, Scale, Rotate and several effects like Blur or Colorize.

Should be possible with the Clone Layer Tool. The coordinates are a bit tricky.

Here you go:

Its an .exe so it goes into plug-ins.

C:\Users\grit\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins

But its zipped, you must unzip it first.

Probably doesnt work with the development version of Gimp.
You should fall back to the latest stable version.

Development versions are not meant for work. They are meant for review and bugtesting.

Gimp 2.9 does not support 32 bit plugins. Need to be 64 bit. Remove whatever you installed

There is one there that works: http://registry.gimp.org/files/gimp-clt-...64bits.zip
unzip and put the file clone-layer-tool.exe (size 77312 B) in the Gimp 2.9 plug-ins folder
C:\Users\your-name\Appdata\Roaming\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins

You might get something out of it
this https://i.imgur.com/kzSruxJ.jpg produces this https://i.imgur.com/La7BfZk.jpg

Since that PS example was manipulating a vector, might be worth trying Inkscape.

Its not manipulating a vector. The shape was drawn with the Pen Tool, but the transform and repeat was applied to raster layers.

I wouldnt recommend switching to Inkscape for this effect. The tiled clones dialogue is very hard to understand for beginners.
