It's safe to delete the Guix channel profile you've just installed with the
channel specification, the project profile does not depend on it.

@chapter Environment management
Guix provides multiple tools to manage environment. This chapter
demonstrate such utilities.

@section Guix environment via direnv
Guix provides a @samp{direnv} package, which could extend shell after
directory change. This tool could be used to prepare a pure Guix
environment.
The following example provides a shell function for @file{~/.direnvrc}
file, which could be used from Guix Git repository in
@file{~/src/guix/.envrc} file to setup a build environment similar to
described in @pxref{Building from Git,,, guix, GNU Guix Reference
Manual}.
Create a @file{~/.direnvrc} with a Bash code:
@example
# Thanks <https://github.com/direnv/direnv/issues/73#issuecomment-152284914>
export_function()
@{
local name=$1
local alias_dir=$PWD/.direnv/aliases
mkdir -p "$alias_dir"
PATH_add "$alias_dir"
local target="$alias_dir/$name"
if declare -f "$name" >/dev/null; then
echo "#!$SHELL" > "$target"
declare -f "$name" >> "$target" 2>/dev/null
# Notice that we add shell variables to the function trigger.
echo "$name \$*" >> "$target"
chmod +x "$target"
fi

@end example
Every project containing @file{.envrc} with a string @code{use guix}
will have predefined environment variables and procedures.
Run @command{direnv allow} to setup the environment for the first time.
