Hi Gary, thank you very much for sharing your Emacs manifest.
I tried to do what you said. I created a manifest for Emacs only. After doing it, Guix asked me to set the PATH. I did it and after that this Emacs Manifest changed my general profile. It became my general profile. I couldn’t use my other programmes any more. So I had to do a rollback. 1. I don’t know what I did wrong. 2. AFAIK to create a manifest is not yet a profile. I have to create a manifest and then to create a profile with it. Am I right? 2.If so, after creating a manifest, which commands do I have to use to make it a separate profile?
Probably to generate a manifest and make it a separate profile goes together, but I don’t know how to do it.
Kind regards Gottfried

I do manage all of my Emacs packages with Guix. I list `emacs` and all
of its packages in a manifest file (emacs.scm). It looks like this with
my custom packages elided:
```
(use-modules ((gnu packages) #:select (specifications->manifest)))
(specifications->manifest
(list "emacs"
"emacs-adoc-mode"
"emacs-alsamixer-el"
"emacs-async"
"emacs-calibredb"
"emacs-cider"
"emacs-clojure-mode"
"emacs-company"
"emacs-crdt"
"emacs-csv-mode"
"emacs-elpher"
"emacs-emms"
"emacs-eww-lnum"
"emacs-exwm"
"emacs-flycheck"
"emacs-flymake-kondor"
"emacs-flyspell-correct"
"emacs-forge"
"emacs-geiser"
"emacs-geiser-guile"
"emacs-gnuplot"
"emacs-google-translate"
"emacs-helm"
"emacs-helm-ag"
"emacs-helm-descbinds"
"emacs-helm-swoop"
"emacs-htmlize"
"emacs-magit"
"emacs-markdown-mode"
"emacs-nov-el"
"emacs-ob-async"
"emacs-org"
"emacs-org-pomodoro"
"emacs-ox-gfm"
"emacs-paredit"
"emacs-pdf-tools"
"emacs-pinentry"
"emacs-rjsx-mode"
"emacs-shroud"
"emacs-telephone-line"
"emacs-treemacs"
"emacs-vterm"
"emacs-web-mode"
"emacs-which-key"
"mu"))
```
I actually split up all the user packages on my system into manifests
and isntall each one into its own profile, which I then activate on
startup. However, that's not really necessary for this example. You can
install the manifest packages above into your user profile with this
command:
```
guix package -m emacs.scm
```
