Test a module

If you are contributing to the nf-core/modules repository and want to bump bioconda and container versions of certain modules, you can use the nf-core modules bump-versions helper tool. This will bump the bioconda version of a single or all modules to the latest version and also fetch the correct Docker and Singularity container tags.

If you don’t want to update certain modules or want to update them to specific versions, you can make use of the .nf-core.yml configuration file. For example, you can prevent the star/align module from being updated by adding the following to the .nf-core.yml file:

bump-versions:
  star/align: False

If you want this module to be updated only to a specific version (or downgraded), you could instead specifiy the version:

bump-versions:
  star/align: "2.6.1d"
