error.GitError: --force-sync not enabled; cannot overwrite a local work tree. If you're comfortable with the possibility of losing the work tree's git metadata, use `repo sync --force-sync .repo/manifests` to proceed.

It looks like you did this in a location where a repo workspace already exists, and there are changes made on the .repo/manifests project (which is a clone of the platform/manifest repository).

To fix this you should try:

- Check what changes have been made in the .repo/manifests and either commit them or reset it

Or:

- Do the init in a completely clean workspace, i.e. where there is no .repo folder
