How to get the file path of a loaded OmegaConf configuration

Question

I am using OmegaConf to read a.yaml configuration file (file path is given through hydra). After I edit it, I want to save the file again. Possibly using:

OmegaConf.save(conf, filepath, resolve=True)

However, I cannot figure out how to get the file path back in order to save it again.

Is it possible to get it from OmegaConf somehow? The OmegaConf documentation about serializing YAML does not return the same file path for me.

This is not supported. Hydra abstracts away the config files it loads. In fact - those config files may exist inside Python packages, the file system or arbitrary locations backed by specialized plugins.
