Clarifications about running dbt init --profile (#4534)
Clarifications about running dbt init --profile ## What are you changing in this pull request and why? -Clarify the use of `dbt init` when using an existing `profiles.yml` file. The current docs are not clear enough and one may think you have to provide the path to `profiles.yml` as an argument, for example, `dbt init --profile profiles.yml` when, in fact, you need to pass the actual name of your profile. <br> **REMOVED CHANGES:** -~~Clarify that you cannot pass the `--profile` flag if you already have a dbt_project.yml file as the error returned (`Can not init existing project with specified profile, edit dbt_project.yml instead`) may be confusing~~ -~~Change VersionBlock version from 1.7 to 1.8~~ ## Checklist - [X] Review the [Content style guide](https://github.com/dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com/blob/current/contributing/content-style-guide.md) so my content adheres to these guidelines. - [X] For [docs versioning](https://github.com/dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com/blob/current/contributing/single-sourcing-content.md#about-versioning), review how to [version a whole page](https://github.com/dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com/blob/current/contributing/single-sourcing-content.md#adding-a-new-version) and [version a block of content](https://github.com/dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com/blob/current/contributing/single-sourcing-content.md#versioning-blocks-of-content). - [X] Add a checklist item for anything that needs to happen before this PR is merged, such as "needs technical review" or "change base branch." - [X] Need review of the doc changes as this is my first contribution
