The ~/.guix-home directory is created by the `guix home' command automatically. The manual says: > The home environment is configured by providing a home-environment > declaration in a file that can be passed to the guix home command (see > Invoking guix home). So, after you wrote your home-enviroment declaration, say in the file myhome.scm, you'd invoke $ guix home reconfigure myhome.scm which will create the ~/.guix-home directory as well as the appropiate ~/.bash_profile file if your home-environment also contains a shell configuration (this is recommended). No worries about existing config files, guix home will back them up for you. Best Daniel
