Missing documentation for index template file location

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

The documentation for the location of the index template file is missing.

The current documentation only mentions the use of curl.
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html

It is easier to place the template json files in a folder somewhere and instruct ES where to find it.
Please advice how to achieve that.
