At this institute I recommend users install software into one profile
per project. To “enter” a profile users do this:
bash
cd projects/world-peace
source .guix-profile/etc/profile
# variables are set now
# do work here
exit
They enter a subshell, then go to their project directory in which they
have a Guix profile (always named “.guix-profile”). By sourcing the
profile’s “etc/profile” all environment variables are set up.
When they are done they just exit the subshell, thereby restoring the
environment to its previous state.
