Loading a config file only works with relative paths 🤷‍♂️

Examples

1. ~ expansion e.g.

   $ commitpal -c ~/.commitpal.config.json -n
   Error: /Users/jvernon/.commitpal.config.json not found
   
   ? Please choose a preset …
   Angular commit format
   Emoji
   Jira ticket

2. Absolute paths e.g.

   $ commitpal -c /Users/jvernon/.commitpal.config.json -n
   Error: /Users/jvernon/.commitpal.config.json not found
   
   ? Please choose a preset …
   Angular commit format
   Emoji
   Jira ticket

3. Relative paths e.g.

   commitpal -c ./.commitpal.config.json -n
   ? What type of change? …
   feature
   bugfix
   documentation
   style
   tests
   chore

This is my current workaround 😋

function gcp() {
  if ! command -v commitpal &> /dev/null
  then
      npm install commitpal -g
  fi
  local config_path
  config_path=$(realpath --relative-to=. ~/.commitpal.config.json)
  commitpal -c "$config_path" -n
}

Then I can just run this from anywhere

$ gcp

Hey @joshuatvernon, thanks for raising this issue!

I'm pretty sure if the config file is not specified, commitpal will attempt to climb the file tree to find one! You could try omitting the config flag to see if it picks up the file in the meantime.

I'll have to look into fixing the issues with the flag, that's definitely a big problem (would love a PR if you're up to it 😄)
