npx quartz plugin add github:username/repo
```
To install from a specific branch or ref, append `#ref` to the source:
```shell
npx quartz plugin add github:username/repo#my-branch
npx quartz plugin add git+https://github.com/username/repo.git#my-branch
npx quartz plugin add https://github.com/username/repo.git#my-branch
```
When a branch is specified, it is stored in the lockfile. All subsequent commands (`install`, `update`, `restore`, `check`, `resolve`) will respect that branch automatically.
### remove
Remove an installed plugin.

npx quartz plugin resolve
```
### Testing with Branches
If a plugin author has a fix or feature on a separate branch, you can install it directly without waiting for a release to the default branch:
```shell
# Install from a feature branch
npx quartz plugin add github:username/repo#fix/some-bug
# Later, switch back to the default branch by re-adding without a ref
npx quartz plugin remove repo
npx quartz plugin add github:username/repo
```
The branch ref is tracked in `quartz.lock.json`, so `update` and `check` will continue to follow the specified branch until the plugin is re-added without one.
Both `prune` and `resolve` will fall back to `quartz.config.default.yaml` if no `quartz.config.yaml` is present.

## How it Works
For each plugin, `update` fetches the latest commit from the plugin's remote repository and rebuilds it. The lockfile (`quartz.lock.json`) is updated with the new commit hashes.
For each plugin, `update` fetches the latest commit from the plugin's remote repository and rebuilds it. If a plugin was installed from a specific branch (e.g., `github:user/repo#my-branch`), updates will track that branch instead of the default branch. The lockfile (`quartz.lock.json`) is updated with the new commit hashes.
This is functionally identical to running:
