Please note that signing keys are different, this means that you need to uninstall Play Store version if you want to install GitHub version. Usually updates on GitHub are pushed a couple of days before Play Store releases (this is due to Google app review times), but keep in mind that using GitHub version will stop updates from Play Store, and you have to update manually the app from GitHub everytime a new version is released.
