Hi Gottfried,Gfp <[email protected]> writes:Hi Guix, I don´t use guix home in the manual: 13.3.10 backup section is for guix home AFAIU. I often fall into trouble because of Emacs and Gnus. What does Guix offer to backup e.g. every 2 days my Emacs configuration so that in case of trouble with Emacs or Gnus my Emacs configuration, including gnus is saved and I can come back to it? This should not include all my work, which I have done in between, only my configuration of Emacs which is stored in .config/emacs In case of trouble I can come back to this configuration of 2 days ago or 4 days ago and restore my working emacs.The simplest thing you can do is put your Emacs configuration into Git. As long as you make commits when you change the configuration, you can restore to any previous state; it also helps to share the configuration between systems. There is no special Guix facility for this, just use Git as normal.There are also numerous dotfile manager tools which can help with this. GNU Stow is one I know of which is already in Guix, but I’m sure there are others.-- Ian
Sorry for my simple questions, but I have never used git. In using git, does it mean that if you make changes you do it only in git,or you do make changes in .config/emacs or init.el and after that save it in git, or configure git so that it saves always your .config/emacs or the init.el file?
Can git be used also with gitg (GUI of git) in order not to be completely dependent on the terminal commands, which I don´t know yet?
Or with emacs-magit (which I don´t know yet also)? Would I then also be able to save my Guix configuration with git...?(locally or on the external hardisk or online (which I would not like at the moment)?
thanks Gottfried
