Answer 1

您可以通过以下指定格式添加依赖项来在包json中使用特定的github分支：

git://github.com/<user>/<project>.git#<branch>

Answer 2

so one way is to take the clone of the whole project and Try these steps

1) Fetch all the branches

git fetch origin 

2) checkout to your second branch

git checkout <second branch name> like
git checkout second

3) now test the second branch

Other way could be to use git subModules to include the package as the submodule in your project Please refer this link:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules

git submodule add git://github.mycompany.corp/vv/app.js.git#newbranch

and then referrence package.json from there and test this.
