$ guix home list-generations 10d
@end example
@item import
Generate a @dfn{home environment} from the packages in the default
profile and configuration files found in the user's home directory. The
configuration files will be copied to the specified directory. Note
that not every home service that exists is supported (@pxref{Home
Services}).
@example
$ guix home import ~/guix-config
;; This "home-environment" file can be passed to 'guix home reconfigure'
;; to reproduce the content of your profile. This is "symbolic": it only
;; specifies package names. To reproduce the exact same profile, you also
;; need to capture the channels being used, as returned by "guix describe".
;; See the "Replicating Guix" section in the manual.
