Re: define PATH and PROFILE

[Zelphir Kaltstahl]

Hello Christophe!

Some time ago I created this:
https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guix-package-manager-tutorials/src/33f519f2517685106b71399993a7da94cad84d3b/dot-profile-file.org

I see, that I also included some individual stuff in there, which you
might not need, but perhaps it can be of use.

Regards,
Zelphir
