Hello Guix!

I’ve written a reference card for Guix, which you can find here:

  https://gnu.org/s/guix/guix-refcard.pdf

The source is at:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/doc/refcard

It’s written using the Lout document formatting system, so I provided a
simple build file such that you just have to run:

  guix build -f build.scm

I initially tried to do this in plain TeX based on the Org-mode and GDB
refcards, on the grounds that people were more likely to be familiar
with TeX, but that turned out to be too tricky for me and I’m just more
fluent in Lout than in TeX.

Enjoy, share, and improve!  :-)

Ludo’.

Thanks! I find it really useful. I did not know you call them
reference card, I generally call them cheatsheets

Yeah I guess both terms work.  :-)  I’m glad you find it useful!

Excellent!  I was actually thinking about making something like this to
share with people at my upcoming talk at SeaGL, but maybe I'll just
steal yours, instead.  :-)

I see that the second page is mostly blank.  Is that intended?

I think it's meant to be the back of a printed card. It would be great
to have a stack of these for FOSDEM :)

How big stack are you thinking about? Maybe I can help there :)

Exactly!  If you don’t have a double-sided printer, you can obviously
skip the second page.

Or, if you do have a double-sided printer but still find the second page
to be too empty, you could add stuff about ‘guix system’ there.  Hint,
hint!  ;-)

Chris, note that you may want to modify ‘refcard-style.lout’ to use
Letter rather than A4, but then the layout may need to be tweaked.
(Alternately find yourself a bunch of A4 sheets.  ;-))

I suppose that’ll depend on whether we get a booth!  But anyway, we
could bring some in the pre-FOSDEM Guix workshop as well as in the
devrooms where we present Guix.

Thanks,
