Copied links need to be in quotes in the CLI
I had originally started writing this issue because I kept getting errors when trying to scaffold a new component. Although this is a minor issue, I can see some people getting hung up on it. The solution is simply to wrap the copied link in quotes to make sure the command doesn't break.
I think the instructions should reflect this, saying something like
npx figma connect create "https://..." --token <auth token>
Hey @sekeidesign, interesting that you have this issue! On my Mac, in both iTerm 2 and Apple Terminal, pasting a URL with ? or = characters automatically escapes it, see this video:

What terminal software are you using?
We'll look to add a note about this in any case!
I too also encountered the put the Copy Link to Selection URL of the component set into "" issue. I am using VS Code's built-in terminal
There seems to be a fxn on line 41 in helpers.js that validates if the URL is a string that is showing this error
Interesting, it seems that some terminals must not escape special characters when you paste. It's strange because when I try the same on the VS Code terminal, it correctly changes ? to \? and = to \=. Maybe there is some configuration settings which controls this.
In any case, the solution @devindoming0 is to wrap the URL in quotes if your terminal doesn't escape it. We'll update the README to reflect this.
Thanks for the report!

I use Warp as my terminal!
Hey everyone In my case (Windows VSCode - default terminal / powershell) passing url in "" doesn't helped. I was getting:
'node-id' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Invalid parameter - =dev
In my case the "Git Bash" terminal was the one that worked!
@michal-szymczak-ui-developer could you share the command that failed in Windows VS Code?
