Hi Ricardo,

No, it wasn't enough.  (I could be wrong - I am still learning Guix. 😅)  

But I spent a lot of time picking my hair out, trying to figure out why guix edit hello would not find the scm file under my locally checked out guix repository.

When I followed the instructions on the link, the "bulletproof" way, my problem immediately went away.   And I thought it was probably fixed by the  -C option (creating a container) 😄
