Specifically, you can have something like this in ~/.bashrc (this is the
default on GuixSD):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Adjust the prompt depending on whether we're in 'guix environment'.
if [ -n "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT" ]
then
    export PS1=3D'\u@\h \w [env]\$ '
else
    export PS1=3D'\u@\h \w\$ '
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

HTH!
