+    Task for running dbt commands. It will create a profiles.yml file prior to running dbt commands.
+    Args:
+        - command (string, optional): dbt command to be executed; can also be
+            provided post-initialization by calling this task instance
+        - dbt_kwargs (dict, optional): keyword arguments used to populate the profiles.yml file (e.g.
+         `{'type': 'snowflake', 'threads': 4, 'account': '...'}`); can also be provided at runtime
+        - env (dict, optional): dictionary of environment variables to use for
+            the subprocess; can also be provided at runtime
+        - environment (string, optional): The default target your dbt project will use
+        - helper_script (str, optional): a string representing a shell script, which
+            will be executed prior to the `command` in the same process. Can be used to
+            change directories, define helper functions, etc. when re-using this Task
+            for different commands in a Flow
+        - overwrite_profiles (boolean, optional): flag to indicate whether existing profiles.yml file
+            should be overwritten; defaults to `False`
+        - profile_name (string, optional): Profile name used for populating the profile name of profiles.yml
+        - profiles_dir (string, optional): path to directory where the profile.yml file will be contained
+        - set_profiles_envar (boolean, optional): flag to indicate whether DBT_PROFILES_DIR should be set to the
+            provided profiles_dir; defaults to `True`
+        - shell (string, optional): shell to run the command with; defaults to "bash"
+        - return_all (bool, optional): boolean specifying whether this task should return all lines of stdout
+            as a list, or just the last line as a string; defaults to `False`
+        - **kwargs: additional keyword arguments to pass to the Task constructor
+    Example:
