Why can't I get laravel to look in the public folder?

Question

open server

Download laravel 5.1 like this:

composer create-project laravel/laravel ganja.local "5.1.*"

after that he added his ganja.local folder to openserver, so that when he entered the ganja.local domain, he immediately showed the site on the local server. Everything seems to be done correctly, but ganja.local shows the entire list of files and folders in the ganja.local folder, and if you enter ganja.local/public, then only then laravel shows the main page.
PS what is my reason for not setting correctly?

Answer 2

2 options - either specify the path in the server config, or add htaccess (I don’t know how it is with nginx):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
