A friend of mine is having a second look at Guix (not SD yet) and one of
the most confusing things initially is `guix pull'.  "When/how do I use
that," he asks...and I can only say: I'm not using that...I think we
want this to work--or something like this, we talked about this at
FOSDEM, but AFAIK everyone is using Guix with Git.

He responds with: then *why* is it in the manual.  I have no answer.
Possibly I'm wrong and/or my information is outdated?

This is an important point for me too

I realized that everyone is using git and not guix pull just yesterday

I have been using guix pull until today because I didn' t know any better

The manual mentions something that only beginners use and doesn' t mention something that the majority of the community is using.

Probably in many of the footages in which Ludo appears, the use of git over guix pull is assumed.

I think this is a problem. It' s unfair to newcomers and it damages Guix as a project because it makes the learning curve steeper with not so much of a point why.

I kinda agree with myglc2, on this.
