Hello,

I have an issue with guix home alias declarations. The aliases I declare in my home configuration always end up on top of the .bashrc file, while the documentation for the home-bash-service-type says "The aliases will be defined after the contents of the bashrc field has been put in the .bashrc file.". The following is the bash configuration I use

(service home-bash-service-type
(home-bash-configuration
(bashrc (list (local-file ".bashrc" "bashrc")))
(bash-profile (list (local-file ".bash_profile" "bash_profile")))
(bash-logout (list (local-file ".bash_logout" "bash_logout")))
(aliases '(("egrep" . "egrep --color=auto")
("fgrep" . "fgrep --color=auto")
("grep" . "grep --color=auto")
("l" . "ls -CF")
("la" . "ls -A")
("ll" . "ls -alF")
("ls" . "ls --color=auto")))))

Hi,

I have the same issue since I started using Guix home. Therefore I
did this:

Toggle snippet (10 lines)
(service home-bash-service-type
(home-bash-configuration
(guix-defaults? #f)
;; Needs to be done since aliases are put on top and
;; would be overwritten by `guix-default`.
(bashrc (list (plain-file "default-bashrc" %default-bashrc)))
(aliases '(("ls" . "ls -lah --color")
("grep" . "grep --color")))))

Disabling "guix-defaults" and now you aliases should be at the bottom
and work.
