Confused about Htaccess

I'm having a little bit of trouble with my Htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /testwebsite/

RewriteRule ^home/?$ index.php

What i'm trying to accomplish is the following: Whenever the client visits localhost/testwebsite/index.php, he must be redirect to the clean url (localhost/testwebsite/home). Whenever the visitor visits localhost/testwebsite/home, he must stay there but the content of index.php will still be shown.

Currently whenever I visit localhost/testwebsite/home, the content of index.php has been shown, but whenever I visit localhost/testwebsite/index.php, the client still see's the "ugly" url.

I looked up information all over the internet but the method of how mod_rewriting works just won't get inside of my head. Help would be appericiated, thank you!

This is what you need to do. You can use this code in your .htaccess.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /testwebsite/
#redirect index.php to the pretty URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} [A-Z]{3,}\ /testwebsite/index\.php
RewriteRule ^ home? [R=301,L]
#internally rewrite pretty URL to index file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^home/?$ index.php [L]
