Assuming alice is user already existing on the machine and bob is the
new user.  Something like should do the job,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ALICE=/home/alice/.cache/guix/checkouts/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq
BOB=/home/BOB/.cache/guix/checkouts/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq
mkdir -p $BOB
git clone $ALICE $BOB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

then adapt the permissions.


Cheers,
