While installing DBT , the dbt init should be able to create a project in the particular directory.?

I look for the below issue.

For reference

github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core

## Feature `dbt_init` should be able to create a project in the current directo…ry ### Feature description Sometimes its's helpful to create a new dbt project in the current directory, rather than in a new directory. One example is when using dbt with pipenv. Ideally this sequence of commands would install dbt from scratch in a virtual environment, and then create a dbt project in that same directory: ``` > mkdir dbt\my-dbt-project > cd my-dbt-project > pipenv install dbt > pipenv run dbt init ``` If dbt needs a project name, it could take it from the path or take a different argument to override the default "create a directory" behavior `> pipenv run dbt init my-dbt-project --current-directory` ### Who will this benefit? People creating a new dbt project who plan on collaborating and require specific dbt versions to be installed across multiple machines.

There is any resolution for this issue.
