Thanks for your reply. I performed both of these suggestions, but unfortunately nor the `guix pull ...` or using `./pre-inst-env ...` script won't helped me on creating a new generation with customized version of configurations.

If you have made git commits out of your changes, you can do `guix pull --url=/your/guix/checkout`. Otherwise you can use the './pre-inst-env' script, as described in the link above. "./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure my-config.scm" will create a new system generation using only code from the git repository. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

What do you mean by “detected”? On any GNU system shell commands are mapped to executables by looking for matching executables in any of the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. If there are more than one executable of a name, the order of directories on PATH determines which of them is returned. -- Ricardo
Installing Guix from source
Hi Guix, I tried to build Guix from source on an existing version of GuixSD. so I followed the instructions provided in official documents: https://guix.info/manual/en/html_node/Requirements.html https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html after build finished, I had two versions of Guix on my machine, the old one which is located in store, and the new one which is installed in `/usr/local/bin`. the problem is that the old instance of guix is detected as default on my machine. since I performed a series of modifications on this new version, like changing the default channels and substitute servers, I need to replace old instance of Guix completely with this new one. Does anyone knows how can I perform this replacement? Best, Reza
