Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

N/A -- I'm guessing we will choose to leave these as undocumented since we may deprecate some or all of these at some point.

Just wanted to get this written down somewhere so don't need to look them up again 😎

What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?

There are a small handful of environment variables that can be used to change behavior in dbt outside of the typical global configs but that are undocumented:

• DBT_PACKAGE_HUB_URL
• DBT_HTTP_TIMEOUT
• DBT_DOWNLOADS_DIR
• DBT_INVOCATION_ENV
• DBT_PSYCOPG2_NAME
• DBT_REPLAY
• DBT_PP_TEST
• DBT_PP_FILE_DIFF_TEST

Additional information

Found these via the following searches through the dbt-core source code (so not guaranteed to be exhaustive):

git grep "os.getenv" core/dbt/
git grep "os.environ" core/dbt/
