This is right — guix pull will download (now via git) the latest available snapshot. If that snapshot is identical to your current snapshot, it will not compile anything, otherwise it will do a full installation, which involves compiling all project files. New snapshots are indeed created by people commiting to master. Now that guix pull uses a git backend, it might be possible to move towards a model whereby pull only recompiles files affected by the missing commits (that would be leaves that have been changed, or the file thas has been changed and all its dependents). But that's me speculating, not volunteering unfortunately… HTH, Alex
