title: firebase CLI will not recognize current directory for 'firebase init'
body: <p>I am following a tutorial on Ionic Angular and it has come to the point where the instructor is having me publish my code to Firebase Hosting. First I used NPM to install the Firebase CLI. Then I was instructed to use the <code>firebase init</code> command. The issue is that the CLI doesn't seem to recognize the current directory that is selected in my terminal. </p>
  
  <p>I run: <code>cd /Users/MyUserName/myProjectsFolder/myProject/</code>
  Then I run <code>firebase init</code> and it displays:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>You're about to initialize a Firebase project in this directory:</p>
    
    <p>/Users/MyUserName</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>When I would expect it to read:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>You're about to initialize a Firebase project in this directory:</p>
    
    <p>/Users/MyUserName/myProjectsFolder/myProject</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>A little bit of googling found this page:
  <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/</a></p>
  
  <p>Which includes this passage: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>To initialize a new project directory, change directories in the terminal to your desired project directory and run: firebase init</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Based on this I would expect the steps I took to work. </p>
  
  <p>I am confused. Has anyone ever run into this behavior? Can anyone think of a way to get the CLI to function as expected? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
