Configuration Files

gau automatically looks for a configuration file at $HOME/.gau.toml or%USERPROFILE%\.gau.toml. You can point to a different configuration file using the --config flag. If the configuration file is not found, gau will still run with a default configuration, but will output a message to stderr.

You can specify options and they will be used for every subsequent run of gau. Any options provided via command line flags will override options set in the configuration file.

An example configuration file can be found here

Installation:

From source:

$ go install github.com/lc/gau/v2/cmd/gau@latest

From github :

git clone https://github.com/lc/gau.git; \
cd gau/cmd/gau; \
go build; \
sudo mv gau /usr/local/bin/; \
gau --version;

From binary:

You can download the pre-built binaries from the releases page and then move them into your $PATH.

$ tar xvf gau_2.0.6_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ mv gau /usr/bin/gau

From Docker:

You can run gau via docker like so:

docker run --rm sxcurity/gau:latest --help

You can also build a docker image with the following command

docker build -t gau .

and then run it

docker run gau example.com

Bear in mind that piping command (echo “example.com” | gau) will not work with the docker container

ohmyzsh note:

ohmyzsh’s git plugin has an alias which maps gau to the git add --update command. This is problematic, causing a binary conflict between this tool “gau” and the zsh plugin alias “gau” (git add --update). There is currently a few workarounds which can be found in this Github issue.
