Description

After running `init` and selecting to save the configs to `./cli.json` the executable is unable to find the config file unless the console working directory is the executable's directory. In fact, I believe the `./cli.json` file is saved to whichever working directory you have active when `init`is run.

Not sure if this is the intended functionality but I expected it to save to the same directory as the `.exe` file and to always be loaded from there regardless of my working directory.

As a temporary fix I created a batch script that I am using to call the cli app from anywhere with the expected behavior. I'm posting it here in case anyone finds this thread and needs an immediate fix.

```
gotify.bat
-----------------
@echo off
pushd %~dp0
Call %~dp0\gotify-cli-windows-amd64.exe p -q %*
popd
```
The scripts needs to be placed on the same directory as the executable to work as is.
