Description

Description of feature

Break out the feature for downloading singularity containers from nf-core download and put it in it's own command line. When running nf-core download the tool could incorporate this function as part of it.

Modularity will help #2407 and possibly #2406 via breaking each tool into it's constituent components. The next step will be to give each it's own CLI.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing nf-core download command and its singularity-container download behavior. Determine the boundaries for a standalone command and how nf-core download should incorporate it; done means the functionality is separated into its own CLI while remaining available through nf-core download.
