addressed below (@pxref{Channel Authentication}).
+Note that you can specify a local directory on the @code{url} field above if
+the channel that you intend to use resides on a local file system. However,
+in this case @command{guix} checks said directory for ownership before any
+further processing. This means that if the user is not the directory owner,
+but wants to use it as their default, they will then need to set it as a safe
+directory in their global git configuration file. Otherwise, @command{guix}
+will refuse to even read it. Supposing your system-wide local directory is at
+@code{/src/guix.git}, you would then create a git configuration file at
+@code{~/.gitconfig} with the following contents:
+
+@example
+[safe]
+ directory = /src/guix.git
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This also applies to the root user unless when called with @command{sudo} by
+the directory owner.
