Maybe you're not running ssh user agent daemon under your user?  You
need it for this to work.

You can probably spawn it in a number of ways.  One of them would be
through Guix home.  See this[1] Guix manual node for info about
ssh-agent's home service :)

Also, you're not running `guix pull` with sudo, are you?  It wouldn't
work this way because sudo erases environment variables, including
"SSH_AUTH_SOCK".

Btw, on my fully Guixified laptop I am using Guix home without
ssh-agent configured and yet I do have ssh-agent running under my user.
I'm not sure what started it…

As all of us, haha :D

Btw, there's perhaps another solution — pull from local git checkout.
You can pass a filesystem path instead of a url when running `guix
pull`. This might later cause some issues if you try to `sudo guix
system reconfigure` but that's another topic…

Good luck and happy hacking!
Wojtek
