+** Installing development snapshots with Guix
+
+The Shepherd repository can be used as a Guix “channel”.  To do that, change
+~/.config/guix/channels.scm along these lines:
+
+  (append (list (channel
+                (name 'shepherd)
+                (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/shepherd.git";)
+                (introduction
+                 (make-channel-introduction
+                  "788a6d6f1d5c170db68aa4bbfb77024fdc468ed3"
+                  (openpgp-fingerprint
+                   "3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5")))))
+         %default-channels)
+
+Once that is done, run ‘guix pull’.  This will give you additional ‘shepherd’
+packages with higher version numbers:
+
+  guix package -A shepherd
+
+You can then install it with ‘guix install shepherd’ or similar.
