Incorrect documentation?

Hi, 

While working with ZCLI recently, I've had issues deploying local applications. I followed the steps described in the official documentation: https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/apps/getting-started/using-zcli/#authenticating-zcli-using-environment-variables

However, when I would set .env variables as echo 'export ZENDESK_EMAIL="email@example.com"' >> ~/.zshrc
It would be used incorrectly to create basic authorization headers used in the zcli apps:create command.
The header would be incorrectly base64 encoded as “email@example.com"/token=my_token instead of
email@example.com/token=my_token.

I'm using Mac OS Version 14.4 (23E214) with node v18.19.1 and zcli version @zendesk/zcli/1.0.0-beta.40 darwin-arm64 node-v18.19.1.

I've fixed the issue by saving my email without double quotation marks, so I'm posting here just for awareness and visibility.

Best,

Mauro
