You can basically re-eval the whole .el file or just a part of it with M-x eval-buffer/defun/whatever and check the updated behavior. Be aware that guix-emacs is not emacs-guix. It's unrelated guix-specific machinery. emacs-guix should work completely fine without it and all usual emacs development approaches will apply for it. -- Best regards, Andrew Tropin
