The "Repository Structure" block was hard-wrapped by the AsciiDoc→Markdown conversion, so the entire tree collapsed into a single paragraph and rendered as one run-on line.

Rebuilt from the block's own content:

  • depth recovered from the │ continuation bars that survived the wrap
  • the guide entry moved under .github/, where the guide actually lives
  • \# escapes unescaped, └── restored on the last entry of each group
  • the block fenced with ```text so it renders as a tree

Every annotation ("Perimeter 1-2" etc.) is preserved — nothing invented, nothing dropped.

Mechanical repairs to the guide, each anchored on a known-broken form:

- unescaped \# -> #
- rebuilt the hard-wrapped setup block into one command per line
- replaced invalid `():` commit header
- dedented headings that rendered as code

No prose is rewritten; only the broken forms are corrected.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The tree block was hard-wrapped by the AsciiDoc->Markdown conversion, so it
rendered as a paragraph rather than a tree, and it still listed
CONTRIBUTING.md at the repository root, where the guide no longer lives.

Rebuilt from the tree's own content: depth recovered from the `|` continuation
bars that survived the wrap, the guide entry moved under `.github/`, `#`
escapes unescaped, the last entry of each group restored to `└──`, and the
block fenced so it renders as a tree. Every annotation ("Perimeter 1-2") is
preserved - nothing is invented and nothing is dropped.

Fence the setup commands.

The setup sequence is outside a fenced shell block. Markdown renders the # lines as headings and the commands as paragraph text. Wrap the complete setup sequence in a fenced bash block.

GNU Guix manual guix develop guix shell current directory guix.scm

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
When you run guix shell in a directory containing a guix.scm file, GNU Guix can automatically detect and load it to configure your development environment [1][2][3]. Key behaviors and considerations: Automatic Loading: If you do not specify packages or a manifest on the command line, guix shell searches the current directory and its parent directories for a guix.scm or manifest.scm file [1][2]. If a guix.scm is found, Guix will load it [2][3]. Security Authorization: For security reasons, Guix requires you to explicitly authorize directories before it will automatically load files like guix.scm or manifest.scm from them [2]. If you have not authorized the directory, Guix will report an error and provide instructions on how to add the directory to your authorized list [2]. Behavioral Differences: - Automatic Loading: When guix shell automatically detects and loads a guix.scm, it typically treats the contents as the development dependencies for the project [3]. - Manual Loading (--file): If you manually specify the file using guix shell --file=guix.scm, Guix may treat the file as a package definition to be installed rather than its development dependencies [3]. To achieve the same "development environment" behavior when manually specifying the file, you often need to use the --development flag: guix shell --development --file=guix.scm [3]. Precedence: If both a manifest.scm and a guix.scm exist in the same directory, manifest.scm generally takes precedence [3][4]. Best Practices: - Use guix.scm to define the package itself (similar to how packages are defined in the main Guix repository) [4]. - Use manifest.scm to define a specific set of packages (a "bill of materials") for your environment [4]. - If you want to ensure a specific configuration is used, explicitly invoking guix shell with the desired flags is often more predictable than relying on automatic detection [3].

If guix shell finds this file then it will automatically evaluate it, using the output to create the environment. This is similar to the manifest.scm capability we looked at in the previous post, but a guix.scm must be a package definition. ... A package definition in a guix.scm defines all the inputs needed to build the output package. It&`#39`;s written in Guile Scheme. It&`#39`;s reasonably easy to understand, think of it as a DSL with funny brackets! There are fields for inputs and native inputs which are libraries and tools that need to be installed at build time. The result is that we can use guix shell to create a build environment to build a git checkout of our software. ... Then we create a guix.scm in our source checkout directory (tmux-experiment/tmux), as follows: ... The source line (line 20) tells the package where the source code is, in this case we&`#39`;re just telling it to find the source in the same directory as this file. Note that means this file has to be moved into the sources git checkout directory. Normally, we would place guix.scm in the source directory and check it into the project. That way every developer can use the same tools to create their environment. ... ⚠️ The guix.scm MUST be in the top of the Tmux source tree for this example to work. This is due to the version using shell commands, and source using the current directory that the guix.scm is in to find the source code. ... Next, we authorise that Guix can automatically load the guix.scm file: ... ``` echo /home/steve/tmux-experiment/tmux >> /home/steve/.config/guix/shell-authorized-directories/tmux ``` ... Then we can start the shell with: ... ``` $ guix shell --container --preserve=&`#39`;^TERM$&`#39`; guix shell: loading environment from &`#39`;/home/steve/workspace/guix-games/tmux-experiment/tmux/guix.scm&`#39`;... ... The following derivation will be built: ... /arc2asi29xh3lamk5ws0cw5lmnkrl534-profile.drv building CA certificate bundle... listing Emacs sub-directories... building fonts directory... building directory of Info manuals... building profile with 23 packages... ... Now that we&`#39`;ve authorised the directory Guix automatically uses the guix.scm file when it creates the environment. We&`#39`;re using --preserve=^TERM$ so that we can run the compiled tmux in our build environment as a quick test, and Tmux needs the TERM environment. ... Create a new Guix shell, this time using the --nesting option: this will enable us to use the guix command within ... ``` $ guix shell --container --nesting --development --file=guix.scm coreutils ``` ... One thing to notice is that we specified some packages to install into the environment (e.g. coreutils): due to this the guix shell command won&`#39`;t also process the guix.scm file automatically, which is why we specify it with the --file option. Guix will only processes the guix.scm file if you don&`#39`;t specify other packages on the command line. ... 📝NOTE: there&`#39`;s a behaviour difference between guix shell automatically finding the guix.scm in the working directory, and when we provide the --file option. When guix shell finds a guix.scm automatically it&`#39`;s as if we&`#39`;ve asked for the development dependencies. To achieve the equivalent on the command line we do guix shell --development --file=guix.scm. We must provide the --development option when using it this way, otherwise it will install the package into the environment. ... One quirk to be aware of is that a manifest.scm takes precedence over a guix.scm in the same directory. In fact, if Guix processes a manifest.scm it won&`#39`;t process the guix.scm. This means you have to use the --file=./guix.scm switch, but this will assume you want to install the defined package rather than install the build dependencies - so you have to pair it with --development --file=./guix.scm. ...

When would I use one over the other? They kinda seem like they do a similar thing… Andrew says: - `guix shell` will try to automatically load `guix.scm` first and `manifest.scm` second - `guix.scm` should contain a definition which returns a package - `manifest.scm` contains a manifest with a few packages The 7.1 Getting Started section of the cookbook mainly focuses `guix.scm`. However a `manifest.scm` is briefly mentioned in 7.6 Bonus: Build manifest. (Although, I’m not sure if this manifest is the same manifest Andrew talks about.) Ultimately, my objective is to create a reproducible development environment. I’m testing/playing with a very simple “Hello, World” Go app. I want to share an environment that has Go and GNU Make installed. I would also like to pin the versions of these tools. (I think I need Inferiors for this?) For reproducible environments, Andrew also mentions using `guix time-machine` in his video. However 3 years later, now in 2025, is this still the way to get reproducible environments? Or would this section be replaced with Inferiors? (Futurile also mentions `time-machine` approach here.) Should I create a `guix.scm` or `manifest.scm` in my project root? trev September 26, 2025, 7:10pm 2 You could think of `manifest.scm` as a bill of materials needed to build your project. This is handy when you want to work in an isolated environment using `guix shell -m manifest.scm`. It’s also useful to use manifests for creating new profiles (`guix package -p`) and then you can switch profiles using emacs-guix, which is pretty cool. You could also include a `guix.scm` which will basically contain the package definition similar to what would be submitted upstream in the guix repo. I find this less useful, since I mostly work in projects that are not using guix. Sometimes I do write them outside of the repo and then can use that in a `guix shell` or just `guix build` the project. As far as the organization, I’ve seen: ```auto project-root/ guix.scm guix/ manifest.scm ``` I’m sure there are other common layouts, cause Guile can be super flexible
