Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Some modules are super simple. Even "complex" modules don't necessarily really need to have a NuGet package. I would love to be able to do something like Install-Module https://github.com/jazzdelightsme/ConsoleBouncer. Why bother setting up all the infrastructure necessary to distribute a versioned thing (PSGallery/NuGet), when we already have all the infrastructure necessary to distribute a versioned thing (GitHub)?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how Install-Module currently resolves package sources in PSResourceGet and how GitHub URLs are handled; done would require an agreed implementation and tests covering installation from the example repository.
