I want to install plank from the github repo,and added the repository but apt defaults to installing the package from the default Elementary OS ppa.(The first package) enter image description here

How do I selectively install the second one ?

by specifying not only the name, but the full version:

apt install plank=0.11.89+git20211104…

You probably want to look into apt pinning to tell apt that it should prefer that specific PPA over your distro repos.

BUT: I don't know Elementary OS. I don't know whether you can just install Elementary OS packages on your Ubuntu Focal. If not, you might run into trouble.
