pulling down the .git folder with a package

I now have and maintain a package on Packagist.org, which I've specified in my Laravel 5.5 project's composer.json file. It's my first package and is pulling down successfully.

I have also specified automated update hook between GitHub and Packagist (which is pretty cool), but there is one thing which would make the process more convenient:

Is it possible to pull the .git folder with the package as well? This way I can test and develop my package in a project real-time, do a git commit and git push, and I'm done.
