There is a project structure like this:

I need all requests for style files, js scripts, etc. went to public and everything else to index.php
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Register in the root .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

A direct request to something can only be received from the public folder, throw js , css and other statics there.
sitemap.xml and robots.txt can stay at the root.
