Error when navigating to /admin

Receiving the following error when navigating to the /admin url (which redirects to /admin#/)

Error loading the CMS configuration

The config.yml file could not be loaded or failed to parse properly.

Error message: Error: Error in configuration file: A `backend` wasn't found. Check your config.yml file.

Check your console for details.

Might just be user error as the documentation is not very clear on loading this.

My website is currently just a basic Nuxt starter template with the nuxt-netlify-cms-module loaded. The documentation talks about the Netlify CMS config module folder but then further in the blurb states If you don't use any of the following two features, there's no need to create this folder. Creating the folder or not doesn't seem to do anything.

Check out the example directory in the repo and have a look at the config.

netlify-cms/config.yml

backend:
  name: github # github | gitlab | bitbucket
  repo: cringer/netlify-nuxt # username/repository
...

I tried to improve the docs by specifying that netlify-cms needs a config specific to your repository anyway.
