composer install not working on my git repo

I have the following repo:

https://github.com/latheesan-k/laravel-xero and my project's composer.json

On my PC, I have a folder called test and inside it a file called composer.json with the following contents:

{
    "require": {
        "latheesan-k/laravel-xero": "dev-master"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Now when I change into this directory and run the command composer install - I get the following error:

The requested package latheesan-k/laravel-xero could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

enter image description here

Am I doing this incorrectly? I even tried adding it to the packagist site and it doesn't seem to work. Any idea what I might be missing here?

For forks and tests please don't use packagist. Instead use a VCS repository.

Here is how to use them: https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#vcs. Also private repositories are possible.

For your case use this in your composer.json:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/latheesan-k/laravel-xero"
    }
],
"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
    "latheesan-k/laravel-xero": "dev-master"
},

This won't require the packagist you could remove it.
