Hi! I want be able to see which version number of guix I have, not commit but human-readable version, such as 1.0.0. How to do this?
Once performing `guix pull` I saw it, but now I cannot do it this ways:

# guix describe
Generation 88 May 02 2019 17:18:30 (current)
 guix 48f19e6
 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
 branch: master
 commit: 48f19e60c4677e392ee2c23f28098cfcaf9d1710

# guix pull
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
Building from this channel:
 guix https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git 48f19e6
Computing Guix derivation for 'x86_64-linux'... |
nothing to be done

How to see guix version: 1.0.0 ?

This won't help you, but I can confirm:

  ~ λ guix describe

I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to work off of the most recent 
tag (like its namesake ‘git describe’), and am almost certain that 
it used to, so this is probably ‘just’ a bug & you're using the 
correct command :-)

Kind regards,

PS: I'm low on bandwidth or I'd find out what ‘guix pull 
--commit=<much earlier commit…> && git describe’ produces.

It’s not yet possible.  “guile-git” only recently gained support for
pretty “git describe”-style formats, but there has not been a new
release of “guile-git” that contains these changes.

Once a new version of “guile-git” becomes available we should be able to
adjust “guix describe”.

Yup!

But I sympathize: it’s disappointing that ‘guix describe’ doesn’t show
something like:

  commit: v1.0.0 \o/ 🙌
