Hi!

I'm relatively new to guix and I'm walking trough [Building from git](0) 
right now.

It says to run `make authenticate` towards the end, but this only leads 
into make complaining:

 > make: *** No rule to make target 'authenticate'.  Stop.

In `NEWS` it is stated that the is the "new" `guix git authenticate` has 
been added in version 1.2.0, which seems to have been released ~ 5 years 
ago.
So I guess the documentation is just outdated.

cheers

nomike
