Using .htaccess to remove folder from URL

Question

I have a Laravel app, and the document root of host is configured at Laravel root folder (upper directory of public).

I tried the following .htaccess to silently rewrite URLs, but it keeps redirecting me to /public, instead of showing domain URL and rewriting it to /public

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ /public$1 [L,NC]

I want to visit example.com and see my Laravel app, not redirecting user to example.com/public.

rather than using .htaccess to change your URLs, why don't you just use routing to achieve the URLs you want? — James Spence

Create a front controller in the document root, call it index.php. Use this front controller to invoke the front controller in the public folder. Make sure you add the .htaccess to that document root prohibiting all sensitive data from being accessed.

I added index.php to root folder with content require ('public/index.php'), but images and other assets are not loaded. I think I need extra .htaccess rewrite rules for it.
