* Newbie question: Why my system has so many shells.scm files? @ 2023-03-04 17:32 Rodrigo Morales 2023-03-05 1:04 ` 宋文武 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Rodrigo Morales @ 2023-03-04 17:32 UTC (permalink / raw) To: help-guix Table of Contents _________________ 1. The context 2. The question 1 The context ============= Newbie user here. I'm curious about how `home-bash-configuration' works, so I wanted to jump to its definition. I know that one way of doing this is cloning the Guix repository and executing grep to search that string. In fact, I did this and found it in `gnu/home/services/shells.scm'. Using common sense, I knew that that file also existed in my system, so I was wondering how I could have accomplished the same objective without having to download the Git repository, just in case some day I don't have internet connection ,---- | locate shells.scm | grep '/gnu/store' `---- ,---- | /gnu/store/0ywmx3mj3y644mas5v6c8a0h59xz6kid-guix-3809aa0/gnu/home/services/shells.scm |

First to find out what files are currently going to be used the system: $ guix repl > %load-path I got: ``` $1 = ("/gnu/store/sg5mf194lisl59b1bm3a7x6llf3vvhlv-guix-module-union/share/guile/site/3.0" "/gnu/store/qbqdkziw7222077fn4z2x5n91185ivis-guile-3.0.9/share/guile/3.0" "/gnu/store/qbqdkziw7222077fn4z2x5n91185ivis-guile-3.0.9/share/guile/3.0" "/gnu/store/qbqdkziw7222077fn4z2x5n91185ivis-guile-3.0.9/share/guile/site/3.0" "/gnu/store/qbqdkziw7222077fn4z2x5n91185ivis-guile-3.0.9/share/guile/site" "/gnu/store/qbqdkziw7222077fn4z2x5n91185ivis-guile-3.0.9/share/guile" "/home/iyzsong/.config/guix/current/share/guile/site/3.0" "/run/current-system/profile/share/guile/site/3.0" ``` In the first directory, it has: /gnu/store/sg5mf194lisl59b1bm3a7x6llf3vvhlv-guix-module-union/share/guile/site/3.0/gnu/home/services/shells.scm These scm files are guile modules, which will be used by the time 'guix' run. And to find out what the current generation are using, first you need to find out what guix version(s) being used. For system profile, /run/current-system/provenace or /run/current-system/channels.scm has the version (guix commit) info. For user profile, ~/.guix-profile/manifest have it in the provenance property. Then given the commit, how to get the files? If you 'guix pull' before as I did, it can be: ``` cd ~/.cache/guix/checkouts/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq git checkout -f ${COMMIT} ``` Or 'guix pull --commit ${COMMIT}', or git clone a new guix repository...

Note that you have multiple profiles (system, user, pull, maybe home). The command lists all live paths under a given store path. In this case, all that is accessible to the profile you asked for. It's granularity is the store path, not exact files, so even a store path is live and has a shells.scm in it, doesn't mean it's actually used. Also, the shells.scm you found can be split in two categories. There are two different guile modules: (gnu packages shells) has packages related to shells (bash, zsh, …) (gnu home services shells) has service definitions for guix home that are related to shells (creating a bashrc for instance) Some of the store paths you mention seem to be sources that could probably be garbage collected.
