The manual of Guix, a copy of which can be seen at
<https://gnu.org/s/guix/manual/html_node>, is maintained in Guix itself:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/doc/guix.texi#n264

It is written in Texinfo, which is a lightweight markup language.

We definitely welcome improvements to the manual!  Before adding
something to the manual, please make sure it’s not already there ;-),
and make sure that what you add is properly integrated and linked to the
rest of the manual.

Once you’re done, you can submit a patch in the usual way:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html
