It’s fortuitous that you ask this question today because I was just reviewing @julian_knight’s pending MR that could be leveraged to create a shortcut like meltano invoke dbt:docs-generate

I believe in the meanwhile, you may still need to explicitly reference --project-dir
and --profile
, but perhaps @taylor or @julian_knight can confirm.andrew_stewart
