Guix home import not working

When I run guix home import <directory> as specified in Declaring the Home Environment, the directory is not generated.

I do have dotfiles (eg ~/.bashrc) in my home directory, so the command should be pulling these over. Are there any known issues with guix home import that might cause this?

Does it return anything at all?

Usually after running guix home import <directory> you should get something like
guix home: '<directory>/guix-config' populated with all the Home configuration files. hint: Run guix home reconfigure <directory>/guix-config/home-configuration.scm to effectively deploy the home environment described by these files. or an error message otherwise.

What distro are you using?

I am sorry, I did forget about this post. It turns out the command worked, and I was confused. I try to find out why
