Hi,

John Soo <jsoo1@asu.edu> skribis:

No.  Note that the authentication code is not used at all by ‘guix pull’
currently.  When all this is in place, channel introductions would be
how you publish your own channel such that ‘guix pull’ can consume it.
But as I wrote in the other issue, a rebase workflow is not supported by
‘guix pull’ (just like it’s not supported by ‘git pull’ actually).

HTH!
