Hello, Team!  
_I would like to edit the .yml configuration file for the local instance of Elasticsearch I installed using Home-brew, but I can not find the location of the .yml. This is the second time I’ve run into this. In the previous instance, I uninstalled my home-brew configuration and all supporting files, then installed a new Elasticsearch instance directly from Elasticsearch’s website. This time, however, I’m hoping to find the elusive home-brew-installed Elasticsearch.yml file with the help of this community. My machine is a 2020 MacBook Air M1 running Mac OS 12.5 Monterey. The issue is that the docs suggest I should have a usr/local/etc folder, but that folder does not exist on my mac._
