Where does this content belong?

At minimum the following should be updated:

• https://docs.getdbt.com/dbt-cli/configure-your-profile

But also anywhere else that the ~/.dbt/ directory is mentioned within docs.getdbt.com.

The new feature is described here:

• [CT-777] Default to current working directory for profiles.yml dbt-core#5411
• Default to current working directory for profiles.yml and fall back to ~/.dbt dbt-core#5717
• Default to current working directory for profiles.yml and fall back to ~/.dbt dbt-core#5412
