I think @file{~/.bash_profile} is clearer.
Also "ie. open up…" -> "i.e., open up…" or "i.e.@: open up…"

Maybe @emph{every}, since emphasizing with capitals is typographically
suboptimal.

>> +--pure} and contaminate the environment).
"e.g. when" -> "e.g., when" or "e.g.@: when".
See (info "Not Ending a Sentence") for more information.
Also, according to (info "@command"), it shoud be either @samp or @code.
After a cursory look, "guix.texi" seems to use "@code" for entire shell
command invocations.
HTH,

I think this is maybe no longer as necessary, since we now have 'guix
shell --check' that will produce this kind of recommendation?
