How i can tests and install external shopware plugin from shopware shop on my local machine?

FWIW: shopware-ag free plugins are at ShopwareLabs · GitHub so i guess one can install them from there too. (maybe ask other free plugins where their code repo is)

ps. all our self-made shopware plugins are in git repos, so we can install any version of them by simply modifying custom/plugins/composer.json and running composer update. love it!
