Overview

Private preference packs can be added by adding custom github repositories to the Addon manager. This allows testing or simply private usage.

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:

https://github.com/macdroid53/ZolkoBase.git

Click OK when complete.

Preferences with custom repositories added

Click OK when complete.

Custom preference pack in Addon manager

The custom pack can now be installed using Tools → Addon manager.

Apply the preference pack

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