+title: Add a subcommand showing GNU Guix history of all packages
+date: 2020-12-04 12:00:00
+author: Magali Lemes
+tags: Outreachy
+---
+Hello, everyone! I'm Magali and for the next three months, I'll be an
+[Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/) intern in the GNU Guix
+community. As part of my Outreachy application process, I made my first
+ever contribution to Free Software adding a package to Guix, and since
+then I'm eager to begin contributing even more.
+
+My task for this three-month period is to add a subcommand showing the
+history of all packages. Although Guix makes it possible to install and
+have an older version of a package, it isn't as easy to find, for
+example, the commit related to these versions.
+
+The subcommand I'll implement will be something like `guix git log `.
+The idea is that, for instance, when the user invokes 
+`guix git log --oneline | grep msmtp`, a list with all the commits, 
+one per line, related to msmtp, will be shown.
+
+In order to accomplish my task, I have to sharpen up my Scheme skills,
+learn more about the guile-git, which is a Guile library that provides
+bindings to [libgit2](https://libgit2.org/). So, to begin with, I'll
+dive into the Guix code and see how commands are built.
+
+By the end of this internship, I hope to learn much more than just
+programming. I also expect to gain meaninful experience and improve my
+communication skills.
+
+#### About GNU Guix
+
+[GNU Guix](https://guix.gnu.org) is a transactional package
+manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system that [respects
+user
+freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
+Guix can be used on top of any system running the kernel Linux, or it
+can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686,
+x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  When used as a standalone
+GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to
+operating system configuration management.  Guix is highly customizable
+and hackable through [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile)
+programming interfaces and extensions to the
+[Scheme](http://schemers.org) language.
