@section Invoking @command{guix environment}
The purpose of @command{guix environment} is to assist hackers in
creating reproducible development environments without polluting their
package profile. The @command{guix environment} tool takes one or more
packages, builds all of the necessary inputs, and creates a shell
environment to use them.
The general syntax is:
@example
guix environment @var{options} @var{package}@dots{}
@end example
The following examples spawns a new shell that is capable of building
the GNU Guile source code:
@example
guix environment guile
@end example
If the specified packages are not built yet, @command{guix environment}
automatically builds them. The new shell's environment is an augmented
version of the environment that @command{guix environment} was run in.
It contains the necessary search paths for building the given package
added to the existing environment variables. To create a ``pure''
environment in which the original environment variables have been unset,
use the @code{--pure} option.
Additionally, more than one package may be specified, in which case the
union of the inputs for the given packages are used. For example, the
command below spawns a shell where all of the dependencies of both Guile
and Emacs are available:
@example
guix environment guile emacs
@end example
Sometimes an interactive shell session is not desired. The
@code{--exec} option can be used to specify the command to run instead.
@example
guix environment guile --exec=make
@end example
The following options are available:
@table @code
@item --expression=@var{expr}
@itemx -e @var{expr}
Create an environment for the package that @var{expr} evaluates to.
@item --load=@var{file}
@itemx -l @var{file}
Create an environment for the package that the code within @var{file}
evaluates to.
@item --exec=@var{command}
@item -E @var{command}
Execute @var{command} in the new environment.
@item --pure
Unset existing environment variables when building the new environment.
This has the effect of creating an environment in which search paths
only contain package inputs.
@item --search-paths
Display the environment variable definitions that make up the
environment.
@end table
It also supports all of the common build options that @command{guix
build} supports (@pxref{Invoking guix build, common build options}).
