Hello, The guix manual (info guix or better viewed in emacs) has
a "Contributing" section talk about how to do this.  Basically:

1. git clone the guix repository.
2. run bootstrap, configure and make
3. modify the correct source file
4. test it with ./pre-inst-env guix
5. git commit and git format-patch
6. send the patch to guix-patches mailing list

I think the checkout from "guix pull" can be used with "git worktree"
with some care, but I usually use a seperated git clone for contributing.

Hope this helps!
