I noticed that the ‘guix home import’ subcommand is included, but I
think it needs more thought and feedback from people before it makes its
way into ‘master’; it also seems to lack documentation.
I just realized that it generates the following service declaration
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service
home-bash-service-type
(home-bash-configuration
(bashrc
(list (slurp-file-gexp
(local-file "/home/yoctocell/.bashrc"))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but when running ‘guix home reconfigure’, the ~/.bashrc file will be
moved, so when running ‘guix home reconfigure’ for the second time, it
would read the ~/.bashrc which is itself a symlink to a file the store.
‘guix home import’ clearly isn’t in a usable state as of right now…
