### Expected behavior

After going through the documentation I expected that profiles work.

### Current behavior

Weird things happen, e.g., magit complains that there is no emacsclient.

### Steps to reproduce

Follow: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/tree/master/profiles/

Create a profile in `~/.config/doom-profiles.el`:
```lisp
;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp; -*-
((default (user-emacs-directory . "~/.emacs.d")
(doom-user-dir . "~/.config/doom/default/"))))
```

To solve this, simply run: `doom env --profile default`.
This should be documented (if it is the correct thing to do).
