+If you are contributing to Guix, you may find it useful for @kbd{M-x
+guix-edit} to open package files from your git directory.  This can be
+done by setting @code{guix-directory} variable.  For example, after
+this:

+@example
+(setq guix-directory "~/src/guix")
+@end example

+@kbd{M-x guix-edit guix} opens
+@file{~/src/guix/gnu/packages/package-management.scm} file.
