@ -5412,6 +5412,25 @@ From there on, @command{guix pull} will fetch code from the @code{super-hacks}
|
|||
branch of the repository at @code{example.org}. The authentication concern is
|
||||
addressed below (@pxref{Channel Authentication}).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you can specify a local directory on the @code{url} field above if
|
||||
the channel that you intend to use resides on a local file system. However,
|
||||
in this case @command{guix} checks said directory for ownership before any
|
||||
further processing. This means that if the user is not the directory owner,
|
||||
but wants to use it as their default, they will then need to set it as a safe
|
||||
directory in their global git configuration file. Otherwise, @command{guix}
|
||||
will refuse to even read it. Supposing your system-wide local directory is at
|
||||
@code{/src/guix.git}, you would then create a git configuration file at
|
||||
@code{~/.gitconfig} with the following contents:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
[safe]
|
||||
directory = /src/guix.git
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
This also applies to the root user unless when called with @command{sudo} by
|
||||
the directory owner.
