(require 'guix-init)
@end example
Do not worry about the efficiency of that @code{require} thing. It will
not load the whole ``guix.el'' package, it will just autoload the main
interactive commands (@pxref{Autoload,,, elisp, The GNU Emacs Lisp
Reference Manual}).
By default, along with autoloading (@pxref{Autoload,,, elisp, The GNU
Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}) the main interactive commands for
``guix.el'' (@pxref{Emacs Commands}), requiring @code{guix-init} will
also autoload commands for the Emacs packages installed in your user
profile.
To disable automatic loading of installed Emacs packages, set
@code{guix-package-enable-at-startup} variable to @code{nil} before
requiring @code{guix-init}. This variable has the same meaning for
Emacs packages installed with Guix, as @code{package-enable-at-startup}
for the inbuilt Emacs package system (@pxref{Package Installation,,,
emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
You can activate Emacs packages installed in your profile whenever you
want using @kbd{M-x@tie{}guix-emacs-load-autoloads}.
