Description

Description of the bug

When calling e.g. nf-core modules -g https://github.com/erikrikarddaniel/nf-core-modules.git -b epang-place-one-arg install epang/place the program tries to install the module in modules/nf-core/ instead of in modules/erikrikarddaniel.

This worked after @ErikDanielsson implemented it in the summer, did it break when the directory structure was changed?

Command used and terminal output
$ nf-core modules -g https://github.com/erikrikarddaniel/nf-core-modules.git -b epang-place-one-arg install epang/place
System information

nf-core tools 2.7.2
Python 3.10.8

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported nf-core modules -g ... -b ... install epang/place command and trace how the custom remote determines the destination path. The fix is done when the module is written under modules/erikrikarddaniel rather than modules/nf-core/; the payload does not name a source file or test.
