Conversation
Stop defaulting `west init` to `west init -m https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/`. The argument must be passed explicitly. Thanks to argparse, a bare `west init` now errors like this: ``` usage: west init [-m URL] [--mr REVISION] [--mf FILE] [-o=GIT_CLONE_OPTION] [directory] west init -l [--mf FILE] directory west init: error: one of the arguments -m/--manifest-url -l/--local is required ``` This is part of the wider effort to make west independent from Zephyr: zephyrproject-rtos#246 This should also help nudge people towards creating their own manifests, which will mitigate Zephyr's "tragedy of the commons" where many people want their stuff to be present the default upstream manifest, while also complaining that the default is way too big and slow (currently around 10 Gigabytes) - zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr#91061 - zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr#108783 (comment) Signed-off-by: Marc Herbert <Marc.Herbert@gmail.com>

Kept as draft because it git-conflicts with #953 which should go first. But the discussion can start. |

This should also help nudge people towards creating their own manifests, which will mitigate Zephyr's "tragedy of the commons" where many people want their stuff to be present the default upstream manifest, while also complaining that the default is way too big and slow (currently around 10 Gigabytes)
