This is probably the simplest way:
1. guix shell wget
2. wget https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html
According to the docs (https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Writing-Documentation.html), the following should work (but doesn't for me):
1. git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
2. cd guix
3. guix shell -D guix --pure
4. ./bootstrap
5. ./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
6. make doc/guix.html
It fails with:
MAKEINFO doc/guix.html
guix.texi:16880: @include: could not find os-config-bare-bones.texi
guix.texi:17057: @include: could not find os-config-desktop.texi
guix.texi:17064: @include: could not find os-config-lightweight-desktop.texi
make: *** [Makefile:4988: doc/guix.html] Error 1
It's worth noting that the Writing Documentation page links to Running Guix Before It Is Installed (https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Running-Guix-Before-It-Is-Installed.html) when it probably meant to link the previous section Building from Git (https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html) since it mentions needing to run ./configure first.
My guess is that the above steps will work if you run make before running make doc/guix.html.
