Laravel Nova and CircleCI

Laravel Nova suggests adding the nova directory to .gitignore. If I do that how would I include Nova in CircleCI tests so that they don't fail?

Right now it throws this error since it is not included in git.

  [RuntimeException]                                          
  Source path "./nova" is not found for package laravel/nova  

The way I included it is by adding a local repository like this

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "./nova"
    }
],

and including it like this

"require": {
    ...
    "laravel/nova": "*",
    ...
}
