Uploading CodeIgniter4 to Shared Hosting via cPanel

I used Composer to setup CodeIgniter4 in my local PC. And I have completed the development also.

The problem is, am trying to deploy this application to a Shared Hosting that has cPanel.

I have zipped the contents (except the spark and build files) to the /public_html/ folder in my Shared Hosting. Because the primary domain points to this /public_html/ and I can’t change it.

The problem now am facing is, if I access www.mysite.com/public, it loads the site. But won’t load if I access just the domain name www.mysite.com

My directory/file structure is as follows (in the server):

enter image description here

So I basically want the site to be served when I access just the domain. My second question is, from the screenshot I shared, is there any files or folders that is not required to be in the production server?

EDIT:

This is the .htaccess file in /public_html/ that I tried:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php/$1 [L]

    I suggest you do it like this:

    Put the files from the "public" folder into the "public_html" folder on the server.

    For the other CI directories and files, create and place in a folder called "ci", at the root of the server, do not put them in "public_html" to be safe and nobody can access.

    Your index.php will be in "public_html", now you change the variable "$pathsConfig" to this path.
    $pathsConfig = FCPATH . ‘../ci/app/Config/Paths.php’;

    It should work…

    Try adding this to your /public_html/.htaccess:

    DirectoryIndex /public/index.php  
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|assets|robots.txt|favicon.ico) 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
