nf-core download could support a local repo, by performing all the functions after retrieving the repository itself i.e. zipping it up, downloading the singularity containers. This could be part of #2406 or as a related method.

Research direction

Start with the nf-core download entry point and inspect how it retrieves a repository and performs the existing post-retrieval work. Read related issue #2406 for intended scope. Done means a local repository can go through the same packaging and Singularity-container steps as a retrieved repository.
