Why?
---

It may fail to read the configuration file due to `process.cwd()`.

```bash
cd my-project
tree . -L 1
# .
# ├── src
# ├── test
# └── package.json
node -e "require(process.cwd()+'/package.json')" # ok

cd test
node -e "require(process.cwd()+'/package.json')" # Error: Cannot find module './test/package.json'
```

`climb-lookup` is lookup the file while climbing to recursively. like a `require()`.

```bash
cd my-project
tree . -L 1
# .
# ├── src
# ├── test
# └── package.json
node -e "require(require('climb-lookup').lookupSync('package.json'))" # ok

cd test
node -e "require(require('climb-lookup').lookupSync('package.json'))" # ok
```

Test
---
