htaccess rewrite for routing from a sub directory

I've been using this .htaccess file for enabling the grav Cms for a few sites:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/grav/
RewriteRule ^$ /grav [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /grav/$1 [L,QSA]

This works flawlessly as long the site is at the document root.

Now, I have a new site that starts in 2020/ and has Grav installed in 2020/grav.

I modified the above .htaccess to be:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/2020/grav/
RewriteRule ^2020$ /2020/grav [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^2020/(.*)$ /2020/grav/$1 [L,QSA]

This .htaccess file is located in /2020/.

While in the first case the url is left as is and Grav gets the rest of the url as parameters, in the second case (2020/) the url changes to /2020/grav, which is not what I want?

I wanted to check if it was a Grav issue and I've setup a simple test case, with the above .htaccess file and a grav/ directory with only an index.php file in there and I got the same result.

Any hint on how I have to modify the .htaccess file to get 2020/abc to stay as is in the url bar and at the same time have Grav to get the abc argument?

The original question was about getting it to work with an .htaccess.

@anubhava gave a very good answer for the general case. But it sadly was not enough for Grav.

I got some more help in the Grav forums and at the end of a long journey Ole found out that the question has been asked in their forums a long time ago and a solution was found!

The /2020/.haccess can be simply defined as:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/2020/grav/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /2020/grav/$1

But what one need is to add a couple of configurations in the /2020/grav/user/config/system.yaml file:

custom_base_url: 'http://domain.tld/2020'
session:
  path: /2020

You can find a more detailed question and Ole's reply in the Grav forums

You can have this code in 2020/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^$ grav/ [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(?!grave/)(.+)$ grav/$1 [L,NC]

(?!grave/) is negative lookahead condition that will skip match if match already starts with grave/
