I guess you could do something like

    alias ,make=make\ -f\ Makefile.mine

and then invoke it as

    ,make guix-shell

That will rid you of the risk of collision (especially if you pick
something more unique then Makefile.mine) while keeping it easy to
write.

But the alternative suggestion in this thread to do

    guix shell -- make metadata


seems like a better approach, since it does not make guix a required
component to build your project.
