Empty environment means that nothing had been added, i.e., you have what
is defined by the current PATH from where you call “guix shell”.

I do not understand what you mean here.  Once in the environment “guix
shell”, just type exit to return to the original environment.

All the extra files required to create the environment are still in the
store, so if you run again “guix shell”, then the creation of the
environment will be really quick.

Note that if you run “guix pull” between two “guix shell”, you have no
guarantee that the same shell will be created.

At the next garbage collection (for instance, guix gc -F 5G), all these
extra files will be removed from your store, possibly.

It depends on your shell.  I guess you are using the default shell –
which should be bash – from your Linux distro.  Therefore, all the
history is in ~/.bash_history.

Well, I do not know how Bash manages the history of concurrent
sessions.  Other said, if you have 2 terminals open, i.e., two Bash
sessions, which is the session recorded?  But that’s unrelated to “guix
shell”. ;-)


Hope that helps,
