The question is not very clear. As far as I understand, you need to change the site's root directory from www.yoursite.com/public to www.yoursite.com. You can do it in .htaccess like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(public)
RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1
  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /public/index.php

If you have access to the Apache settings, then it's easier to change the DocumentRoot. If not, you can replace the folder that is the DocumentRoot with a symbolic link to the public/ folder.
