Contradictory explanation of how `global.json` is searched for
Describe the issue or suggestion
Hello 👋
The documentation page Select the .NET version to use currently states the following about how global.json is searched for.
The CLI searches upward from the project directory for the first global.json it finds. [...] The .NET CLI searches for a global.json file iteratively navigating the path upward from the current working directory.
Both are contradictory, the search begins in the current working directory (it is correctly explained in the page dedicated to global.json).
Should I simply PR a correction for this? I was about to, but reading the contribution guide, I seemed to understand that it'd be better to open an issue first. Thanks.
