I know that I can run a specific guix environment container of sorts to hack on package code, but I am curious about how I could do about using that locally checked out code to build it and run it. For example, if I git clone emacs and hacked on the source of the lastest 27.x master branch, what might be the best way to test my changes without affecting a new revision to my local profile? Best, Brett Gilio
