Is there a way to install a plugin from a certain branch to test in a develop environment?

What I would like to do is have main branch as stable and then be able to install a feature branch into our EKS dev environment to be able to do user testing before merging to main.

Is that possible? If not from a certain branch, can you install a certain version tag?

Yes, as plugins are installed in the app.yml by invoking a `git clone` you can easily set it to branch by using the `-b` flag.
