Well, the quote link is precisely the manual :) That said, if you can pin point sections that could be improve, please send your suggestions to the mailing list, we should never stop working on the f= ine manual :) > I looked at this part.

Are you asking for example of use cases of Emacs-Guix? Sure, for instance you can can list your installed packages, click on a pac= kage to display it's details, install other outputs from there, display the grap= hs, etc. You can list generations and "diff" them! (One of my favourite feats!) Then you can switch and delete generations. There are helper functions for development, such as a "build-log-mode" to navigate the build phase outputs (e.g. you jump from the "configure phase" = to the "build phase"), you can even toggle-fold the phase outputs. And so much more! Emacs-Guix has a very complete manual: https://emacs-guix.gitlab.io/website/manual/latest/html_node/index.html Cheers! =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlxdlPEACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH8bbAgAiMVDbHwTG5q0kce94ToELd02w5nuAzDLowEggH6aGExcXwlCIILwBtBI ksGeUu2nbJOZDC4CheIg7QOtEnExSQz51dNHyVN3rV29HCpnKZKrTe0EPslbXp7Z LsQk/oJ94HDfYA/uWvGtYGp4Op5wZeVIN/du0XlZmjAbbJbGEkgsiUsQirribdpV y9O/6FaBIOVbKkbtRu+3lQZqoi246yNqTfyY+uQalV165nzOoRTwlAaPZ58UjIbQ oIEx3QZs7dOk1/zD51BeKHROJ9iB+NnWI9QJFJ1xYyaZcxLJVjXmpJHHoXwA9KUV PlipoqBeIq4dHanrECcdoE/wmR4QOw== =9mUh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
