Description
Description of feature
Hi!
I haven't used nf-core commands a lot so far, but it might be interesting to have an offline mode.
My example is from calling nf-core modules create from within my own fork of nf-core/modules,
and it was cloning the full nf-core/modules repo again. This actually got stuck because of bad network, and I was wondering if it's necessary when we have a local copy available?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by tracing the nf-core modules create command and the repository-cloning path it uses when run from a local fork. Determine which commands need offline behavior and how an existing local copy should be selected. Done means the relevant command can work without network access when the required repository is already available locally.
