Description

Description of feature

nf-core/fetchngs uses a new strategy based on scraping the information via Python to list and fetch all changed files, plus dependencies. It then lists all relevant nf-test files and uses them in a testing matrix.

ci.yml
Python script

We need to migrate this feature to the template. We should just be able to copy+paste the files.

Research direction

Compare .github/workflows/ci.yml and .github/python/find_changed_files.py in nf-core/fetchngs with the nf-core/tools template, starting from the referenced files and pull requests 271 and 300. Done means the template contains the changed-file and nf-test matrix workflow strategy and its CI configuration works consistently.
