You need to do the hint. :-)

Then for example, at the bottom of my ~/.basrc file, I have these lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [ -n "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT" ]
then
    export PS1="\n[env]\n\w/\n\u@\h$ "
else
    source ~/.bash_profile
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And my ~/.bash_profile contains at least:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/bin:$HOME/.guix-profile/sbin${PATH:+:}$PATH"

# the latest version lives there
# needs to be first in the PATH
export PATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"

export INFOPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/share/info${INFOPATH:+:}$INFOPATH"
export INFOPATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/share/info${INFOPATH:+:}$INFOPATH"

export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
#export LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
# from: https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#set-locale
#export LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8      # locale fix?
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8         # locale fix
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Hope that helps.
