Remove public from URL - Laravel

Question

I’m accessing my website like this: http://localhost/site/public

I’d like to just type http://localhost/site because I want it to work when I put it in the domain too.

Is there any way to resolve this other than by folder changes and yes only via code ? I understand almost nothing from . htaccess.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Resolution - I do not know if it is the best. It follows below:

I cut the file .htaccess and index php. of the briefcase public and pasted it into the root folder of my website.

And within the index php. changed the path of the folders that start the application.

Of

require __DIR__.'../bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'../bootstrap/start.php';

To

require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';

But will it always have to be like this ? Is that in this case I’m inside a folder within of the briefcase www (public_html) of hosting.

I don’t think so, but...
