Hi,
I am trying to get started with guix home but somehow feel the docs
are missing (or I am not stumbling over the right things).
So, I am running guix on top of a Debian testing, just to provide the
context that I am operating in. I found
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Home-Configuration.html
and what is missing is how the ~/.guix-home directory is created (I
assume it is created by .guix-home). Or, to phrase it from another angle,
how do I connect the home-configuration as in
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Declaring-the-Home-Environment.html
with guix-home.

It's created by first 'guix home reconfigure' invokation. Did you try
that? Also, what does 'guix describe' show?

The ~/.guix-home directory is created by the `guix home' command automatically. The manual says:
> The home environment is configured by providing a home-environment declaration in a file that can be passed to the guix home command (see Invoking guix home).
So, after you wrote your home-enviroment declaration, say in the file myhome.scm, you'd invoke
$ guix home reconfigure myhome.scm
which will create the ~/.guix-home directory as well as the appropiate ~/.bash_profile file if your home-environment also contains a shell configuration (this is recommended). No worries about existing config files, guix home will back them up for you.
Best
Daniel
