Where Is the Amass Config File?
Amass YAML config with output dir and system fallback.
Last updated
Amass centers on a YAML config under the user config dir. Output, graph and datasource files branch beside it. A system etc fallback covers managed installs.
Source defines the override chain with env and flags. Default filename stays constant across platforms. Keep the whole dir together.
Where Amass stores this, by platform
~/.config/amass/config.yaml

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Amass?
Copy the amass config dir with no scan running. Graph output plus datasource files travel beside the YAML. Restoring means putting the dir back before launch.
How do I relocate the config?
An env var plus a dir flag redirect everything. Same logic yields per-OS roots from the user config dir. Source confirms the override chain.
