Guix always used git. Also after some lenghty discussion, main development moved to codeberg. The “pull request” development model is now available with AGit
How did you make Guix work for you?
Every time I’ve tried to use it, it was terrible (90 minutes for reconfigure and required internet access, just to remove GNOME).
there are so many strange issues with nix that i’m sort of regretting not going for guix as my user mode package manager.
Guix is lovely but it has a lot fewer packages and a few of its own quirks too. It’s still on my list to test again when I get some time, though.
Does guix even use git? Are they still on cvs and mailing lists?

I’m surprised they moved away from mailing lists. That took a lot of growth.
Guix is amazing and what I use for everything, but apart from basic language issues I’m don’t find it any easier than Nix.

the big difference is i haven’t heard of any security issues in it.
Not enough people use it to be a target.
