Description

Would be neat to have an optional hello module demonstrate how to make certain steps conditional (for GATK pipeline, the indexing could be conditional depending on existence of the file, or boolean?) and also switching between tools (for GATK pipeline, could switch between GATK and something else)

Research direction

Review the training repository's optional hello material and GATK pipeline example as the starting points. Done would be an optional demonstration of conditional indexing based on file existence or a boolean, plus switching between GATK and another tool, with the intended behavior explained for learners.
