Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I'd like to do some tests on another branch dsl2 on which we're working in Sarek.
Can't and won't merge it in its current state in dev, but linting is failing all the time if I enable CI in this specific branch.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have CI enabled on other branches without nf-core lint failing

Describe alternatives you've considered

Having nf-core lint fail and keep my CI tests on, which is what I'm currently doing

Additional context

Same issue for CI on master as discussed on slack

Research direction

Start by tracing how CI configuration and nf-core lint are applied to branches such as dev, dsl2, and master. Confirm the intended branch-selection behavior, then use the existing CI and lint checks to verify that other branches can run tests without lint blocking them.
