you shouldn't worry until you actually install some packages that you have
modified. a subsequent `guix gc` will delete anything you have produced into
/gnu/store but haven't installed.
this should work in a git checkout:
guix shell --pure --development guix
./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
make -j
./pre-inst-env guix graph ...
afterwards you don't need to invoke `make -j` every time you modify something,
it just makes the startup time faster.
if you'll ever need to use extra channels and/or packages:
export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=/path/to/some-guile-modules:/another/path
export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/path/to/some-guile-modules:$GUILE_LOAD_PATH
