It=E2=80=99d definitely be nice to= have=20 an --offline or --no-pull option when reconfiguring. The simplest path forward for you is to replace your Guix channels with local clones of them, so `guix pull' uses your filesystem=20 instead of the network. You can then `git pull' in your clone to get new commits when you like, and `guix pull' after that to update Guix=20 to use them.
