What do you think? :)
I really like the idea of having sub commands which names are verbs like in Git, otherwise I agree that these familiar names are easier to remember than 'guix package' options. So I really welcome this patch! :) > From 7f1ac0b748a40b0a093d20c27401f305ce6aec9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Andy Wingo <[email protected]> > Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 11:27:48 +0200 > Subject: [PATCH] Add guix install command > > * guix/scripts/install.scm: New file. > * doc/guix.texi: Change guix package -i invocations to use guix install. > (Features): Add links to "Invoking guix install". > (Invoking guix install): New section. > (Invoking guix package): Link back to Invoking guix install.
