Swap site root directory with htaccess

Question

How to make sure that when a person accesses the site, the . htaccess recognizes that the site is on /site instead of /, /website where it will contain all the files of the site. And when accessing the URL should open www.site.dev/ instead of www.site.dev/site

Image the folders:

Code I’m using:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   Options All -Indexes

   # ROUTER WWW Redirect.
   # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
   # RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

   # ROUTER HTTPS Redirect
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
   RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

   # ROUTER URL Rewrite
   RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ site/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I’ve tried to:

RewriteRule (?!^site/)^(.*)$ /site/$1 [L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !folder/
RewriteRule (.*) /site/$1 [L]

Thank you.

Maybe you need this:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews # Turn mod_rewrite on

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/site/$1 -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/site/$1 -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/site/$1 -l
RewriteRule (?!^site/)^(.*)$ /site/$1 [R=302,L,NC] 

After checking that it is working, change the R=302 for R=301 in the last row.
