Settings

Overview

The default settings file is named .ash_config and is located in the user's home directoy.

If this file does not exist when the program starts it will automatically be generated. These locations are typically in the following folders on each OS:

• MacOS - /Users/<username>
• Ubuntu - /home/<username>
• Windows - C:\Users\<username>

Custom Config

The default configuration file can be overriden using the --config or -c option on the command line.

$> ash -c /path/to/my/config.file
