Hi @nelson_d:

Use

bench get-app yourapp --branch yourbranch to install app from specific branch

or

bench switch-to-branch yourbranch yourapp1 yourapp2 yourapp3 to change it after app is installed.

Essentially get-app uses git clone command, but it will check dependencies and some versions compatibility, etc …

Hope this helps.
