@section Declaring the Home Environment
The home environment is configured by providing a
@code{home-environment} declaration in a file that can be passed to the
@command{guix home} command (@pxref{Invoking guix home}). A simple
setup can include Bash and a custom text configuration, like in the
example below. Don't be afraid to declare home environment parts, which
overlaps with your current dotfiles, before installing any configuration
files, Guix Home will back up existing config files to a separate place
in the home folder.
@command{guix home} command (@pxref{Invoking guix home}). The easiest
way to get started is by generating an initial configuration with
@command{guix home import}:
@example
guix home import ~/src/guix-config
@end example
The @command{guix home import} command reads some of the ``dot files''
such as @file{~/.bashrc} found in your home directory and copies them to
the given directory, @file{~/src/guix-config} in this case; it also
reads the contents of your profile, @file{~/.guix-profile}, and, based
on that, it outputs a Home configuration that resembles your current
configuration. You can dump that configuration to a file and you're
ready to go!

It is highly recommended that you manage your shell or shells with Guix
