Removing /public from URL in Laravel 7

Even though there are hundreds similar questions out there, but none is actually solving my problem. I have setup a Laravel 7.14.1 application, and I uploaded it to a shared host.

To make it work on shared host, I did the following steps:

1- Renamed server.php to index.php

2- Moved .htaccess to root

3- In .htaccess I put the following rules

RewriteEngine On

# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.css|\.js|\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(css|js|images)/(.*)$ public/$1/$2 [L,NC]

4- Created a test route like follows:

Route::get('/test', function () {
    return 'HI';
});

Now when I visit domain.com/test it gives me 404 error But when I visit doamin.com/public/test it works

How can I remove the /public part from my url?

Easy way to resolve this.

First, upload the contents of public folder on your local machine to public_html on web server.
upload every other files and folders outside public_html.
and done, no configuration files update necessary.

Let me know how it goes

The simplest and safest solution for shared hostings:

Go to your Laravel/Lumen root path from SSH
Run mv .htaccess .htaccess-BACKUP to backup your current .htaccess
Run cp public/index.php ./ && cp public/.htaccess ./
Enjoy :)

NOTE: If you don't have SSH access, you can do exactly the same thing manually from cPanel > File Manager

The following are the steps you can follow to host your laravel application on shared hosting(cpanel)

1 Step: Login to your shared hosting account (cpanel) dashboard then find File Manager icon then click it

Click public_html , actually this is where normally we upload our web application contents, so upload your laravel project here but we need to do extract work to make our project running please proceed with following steps

2. Step: Organize your laravel project
