How to put custom composer package outside of vendor folder in Laravel?

I need to put my zodiac package from vendor folder to packages folder in my root laravel directory in order to customize some data. Currently I made packages folder in root, cut my zodiac folder from vendor/intervetion and paste it in packages folder. Then in my composer.json I put code below.

composer.json

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "type": "project",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": [
        "framework",
        "laravel"
    ],
    "license": "MIT",
    "require": {
        "php": "^7.2",
        "fideloper/proxy": "^4.0",
        "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.5",
        "intervention/image": "^2.5",
        "intervention/zodiac": "dev-master",  // HERE I ADDED THIS!!!!!
        "laravel-notification-channels/messagebird": "^2.1",
        "laravel/framework": "^6.2",
        "laravel/socialite": "^4.3",
        "laravel/tinker": "^2.0",
        "laravel/ui": "^1.1",
        "predis/predis": "^1.1"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "barryvdh/laravel-debugbar": "^3.2",
        "facade/ignition": "^1.4",
        "fzaninotto/faker": "^1.4",
        "jason-guru/laravel-make-repository": "^0.0.2",
        "mockery/mockery": "^1.0",
        "nunomaduro/collision": "^3.0",
        "phpunit/phpunit": "^8.0"
    },
    "config": {
        "optimize-autoloader": true,
        "preferred-install": "dist",
        "sort-packages": true
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "./packages/zodiac"  // HERE I ADDED THIS "repositories"!!!!!
        }
    ],
    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": []
        }
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/"
        },
        "classmap": [
            "database/seeds",
            "database/factories"
        ]
    },
    "autoload-dev": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Tests\\": "tests/"
        }
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true,
    "scripts": {
        "post-autoload-dump": [
            "Illuminate\\Foundation\\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump",
            "@php artisan package:discover --ansi"
        ],
        "post-root-package-install": [
            "@php -r \"file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');\""
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "@php artisan key:generate --ansi"
        ]
    }
}

And after this when I hit composer update and composer dump-autoload, laravel makes new zodiac folder in vendor/intervetion folder and I am back on beggining. Any help is appreciated.

In order to achieve that you just need to autoload the package by adding this line to your composer.json

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/",
        "Intervention\\Zodiac\\": "packages/zodiac/src/" <-- add this line
    },

and remove 

"intervention/zodiac": "dev-master"

run command

composer dum

A better way to achieve whatyou need is forking the Intervention/zodiac repository to your github account, make changes there and then install your custom forked package.
