"How to install NodeJS package from GitHub directly?" mentions that you can specify a branch.

So if you know the repo and branch from which a PR comes from, you can do a:

npm install git+https://github.com/user/repo.git#branch 

Worth saying that you might need to escape the # to use a specific branch from the shell, i.e.:

npm install git+https://github.com/user/repo.git\#branch 

Note that repository you want to install must be a npm module, it must contain a package.json file or else you will get this error:

Error: ENOENT, open 'tmp.tgz-unpack/package.json'.
