Overview
Private preference packs can be added by adding custom github repositories to the Addon manager. This allows testing or simply private usage.
See also Preference Packs.
Add custom repository
Begin by adding a custom repository. Go to Edit → Preferences → Addon manager options and click the + button to open the Custom repository dialog.
Custom repository dialog
Enter the URL of the github repository and the branch.
In this example I have added:

Click OK when complete.

Click OK when complete.
Custom preference pack in Addon manager
The custom pack can now be installed using Tools → Addon manager.

Once installed go to Edit → Preferences → General, find the preference pack, and click Apply. Follow any instructions offered.
