West Integration:

[Anton Maes]

I'm trying to integrate the following driver into my project 

https://github.com/nobodyguy/HX711_zephyr_driver

In order to load it I need to update the west manifest. 

Using nrfConnect in VSCode I've created a new application from one of the templates 

I've then run >nrf connect : west init

based on this tutorial 
https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/connect/west.html

and using the "custom" option under "select manifest repository"  

But i'm getting the following error 

west init -m github.com/.../HX711_zephyr_driver --mr main

=== Initializing in C:\Users\anton\Desktop\NrfTest\bar

FATAL ERROR: can't init: no west.yml found in C:\Users\anton\Desktop\NrfTest\bar\.west\manifest-tmp
Hint: check --manifest-url=github.com/.../HX711_zephyr_driver and --manifest-rev=main You may need to remove C:\Users\anton\Desktop\NrfTest\bar\.west before retrying.

* Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

What's strange is it does appear to load the files from the repository. 

What am I doing wrong here that it's throwing a fatal error? Am I missing an earlier step? 
FATAL ERROR: can't init: no west.yml found in C:\Users\anton\Desktop\NrfTest\bar\.west\manifest-tmp

Also if I try to define a board west is throwing another error
