Hello, and thanks for an epic effort doing this!

We've started using msg-cli in our organization, and I have one question.

Would it be possible to add a channels.scm in say /Users/foo/.config/guix/channels.scm and use this from the guix machine? It seems /Users is mounted as readable anyways, so it may be a quick win?

Enabling ~/.config/guix from the macos side may be a low hanging fruit for more customization?

The rationale behind is that we have a private channel we need to use, and the chicken egg problem of us first having to create a machine, then do slight adjustments inside the machine will make the 0-100 a little slower than desirable. If we supported adding the ~/.config/guix/channels.scm we could add it on the mac side before we even run msg machine init.

Again - well done, and keep it up! 👏

Hey, glad to hear you are enjoying and have found a use for the application! I think this is a great idea, I would just need to poke around the init process a bit to see what would be the best way to go about it, and try to make it as seamless as possible with MacOS. Thanks so much btw!
