Dear,

What about user-defined aliases ?
Instead of scattered hard-coded aliases.
Something using a .guixconfig file mimicking .gitconfig.

The default command would be the one we already use.
Predefined aliases such that `guix install` or `guix search` etc.
should live in .guix-profile/etc/guixconfig.
And maybe predefined apt flavor or yum flavour.

I mean something like:

~/.guixconfig

(alias 'ins (package --install))
(flavour 'apt)


~/.guix-profile/etc/guixalias-apt

(alias 'install blabla
         'search blabla
         'show blabla)

~/.guix-profile/etc/guixalias-yum

(alias 'install blabla
         'search blabla
         'info blabla)


I do not know if it makes senses.


All the best,
simon
