So in the channel definition using a local directory what would the syntax be
instead of the “(url…” bit?

So what would the recommended workflow be, with a git checkout on top of GuixSD?
— Only use “guix pull, guix package -u, and guix system reconfigure” for GuixSD
for root to have the base system up-to-date?
— Don't use “guix pull” as regular user for GuixSD, but install user packages
from the git?
— In git use “./configure --localstatedir=/var; make; make install”? Also
“make install”?
— Then to install packages use “./pre-inst-env guix install”?
