Description
In scenarios where the user wants to run the checks that do not require the repository/commits, the option to skip cloning would speed up the pre-analysis steps.
We should be mindful about what would happen if user passes such argument but some checks that depend on repository information are included in the analysis.

Research direction
Start at the CLI entry point and trace the repository-cloning path used during pre-analysis. Check how analyses identify checks that require repository or commit information, then define the behavior for a skip-cloning option when those checks are selected. Done means the option speeds up checks that do not need the repository and handles dependent checks explicitly.
