Configuration/ Token isn't being detected in workspace + Home dir being created inside workspace

[arayofcode]

After following the CLI Walkthrough, I setup my token. When I'm outside my workspace, the configuration is present:

pwd
/Users/ray/code
❯ exercism configure

You have configured the Exercism command-line client:

Config dir:                       ~/.config/exercism
Token:         (-t, --token)      ...
Workspace:     (-w, --workspace)  /Users/ray/code/exercism
API Base URL:  (-a, --api)        https://api.exercism.org/v1

However, when I'm inside the workspace, the configuration is missing.

pwd
/Users/ray/code/exercism
❯ exercism configure
Error: There is no token configured. Find your token on https://exercism.org/settings/api_cli, and call this command again with --token=<your-token>.

To fix this, on running exercism configure --token=YOUR_TOKEN, the home directory ~ was being incorrectly created inside my workspace.
Looking at the code, I discovered this happened because the path was being treated as relative even when it was absolute path, creating ~.
