The “Connect your project to the dashboard using CLI” page shows the following command under “Connect your project”:

```auto
mise x tuist@latest -- tuist init OpenSwiftUIProject/openattributegraph

```

However, `tuist init` (v4.167.0) does not accept a positional argument:

```auto
$ tuist init --help
USAGE: tuist init [--path <path>]

```

Running the command as shown gives:

```auto
Error: Unexpected argument 'OpenSwiftUIProject/openattributegraph'
Usage: tuist init [--path <path>]

```

It looks like the project slug should be passed to `tuist project create` instead:

```auto
tuist project create OpenSwiftUIProject/openattributegraph

```

So the dashboard instructions should probably be split into two steps:

1. `tuist init` — to scaffold Tuist config files
2. `tuist project create <org>/<project>` — to link the project to the dashboard
