How to move Laravel 11 public folder?

I have tried to search for tutorial to move the public folder, but from all the guide it seems like the code is different than version 11. The folder structure I want to move will be like:

  • public (public folder is here)
  • program (all the other files to be stored inside this folder)

I have modified the public/index.php file to be:

<?php

use IlluminateHttpRequest;

define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));

// Determine if the application is in maintenance mode...
if (file_exists($maintenance = __DIR__.'/../program/storage/framework/maintenance.php')) {
    require $maintenance;
}

// Register the Composer autoloader...
require __DIR__.'/../program/vendor/autoload.php';

// Bootstrap Laravel and handle the request...
(require_once __DIR__.'/../program/bootstrap/app.php')
    ->handleRequest(Request::capture());

However, when I try to run php artisan serve, I get the error

   SymfonyComponentProcessExceptionRuntimeException

  The provided cwd "C:wamp64wwwmy-projectprogrampublic" does not exist.

What are the things needed to modify to get it works?

    You must take care of how you load your project. Laravel has its own functions for path handling.
    If you want change the public Path used by public_path() function as the default app entry. You should register a new path in the AppProvidersAppServiceProvider.php class.

    // edit the register method
public function register()
{
    $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
        return base_path() . '/program/public';
    });
}

    After that, your HTTP entry file will be C:wamp64wwwmy-projectprogrampublicindex.php

    To make artisan use a custom public folder, you can edit the artisan script to call the usePublicPath() method on the application object.

    Change these lines:

    $status = (require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php')
    ->handleCommand(new ArgvInput);

    to:

    $status = (require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php')
    ->usePublicPath('/your/public/folder')
    ->handleCommand(new ArgvInput);
