Installing third party apps uses the same syntax as installing Frappe and ERPNext. Here’s the cheatsheet. So it’ll be something like:

bench get-app mytrustyfriendsapp https://github.com//handle/repo
bench install-app mytrustyfriendsapp

In case the new feature development was in a fork of the ERPNext repo, you will need to add that fork as a remote and then switch to the corresponding branch. Something like this

$ cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext
$ git add remote <name> <url>
$ git fetch <name>
$ git checkout <name> <branch>

Replace with a name for the fork (e.g. friendsrepo), the should be something like https://github.com/yourfriend/erpnext.git and branch is the name of the branch with the new features. Then, updating is as easy as running

$ git pull

Do not forget to run

$ cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench
$ bench migrate
$ bench restart

Hope this helps.
