It is possible to contribute to improving #guix as the need for new functionalities, packages, fixes or upgrades arise. This is one of the strongest points in open communities: the possibility to participate on the development and continuous improvement of the tool. Let’s see how it goes when it comes to guix.

Using #git is not the whole picture on #modernhw version control landscape. Git is great when one decides to locally follow changes, take diffs, create branches and so on. When it comes to collaboration with other people or to create a community around a common project, the need for extra tooling arises, and it becomes evident that git alone is not enough. A #gitforge fills this gap.

Everything you need to get started with sourcehut, an original and interesting #gitforge .

#guix includes the concept of channels, or git repositories of package definitions. This gives a chance for anyone to complete the collection of packages provided by the distribution, in case this is not enough. Keep reading for an intro on how to create your own channels, or how to use the most popular third party guix channels around.
