The “make as-derivation” command aims to help with this bootstrapping
problem: given an already installed Guix, it builds your checkout and
its dependencies like ‘guix pull’ would do. Thus, you can run:
$(make as-derivation)/bin/guix environment guix
This is just a first step, but I think “make” and “make
as-derivation”/“guix pull” should converge because there’s clearly some
overlap.
