When I run `guix home import ` as specified in [Declaring the Home Environment](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Declaring-the-Home-Environment.html), 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 ` you should get something like
`guix home: '/guix-config' populated with all the Home configuration files. hint: Run guix home reconfigure /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
