You need to perform these steps only once.

I suggest running make again after making changes to any file in the
Guix source tree.  This way you can avoid the “.go file is older than
the .scm” messages.

I’d do this instead:

    git fetch origin  # fetch any upstream changes
    git stash         # hide my uncommitted local changes
    git rebase origin/master # rebase my local commits on top of upstream
    git stash pop     # apply my uncommitted local changes
    make              # compile .scm to .go

Note that you should be inside of a suitable environment when running
“make”, so better do all of this after “guix environment guix”.
