Getting Started with Guix Home

In this video, I'll show you how to get started using Guix Home, a feature of Guix which enables you to manage your personal computing configuration in a way that is both replicable and reliable. We'll write a simple "home-environment" configuration that configures Bash and deploys your existing configuration files into your home folder. I'll also show you how Guix Home can help you rescue your system when things go wrong!
