| We need to illuminate PHP development, so let us turn on the lights.
| This bootstraps the framework and gets it ready for use, then it

As Burak Erdem mentioned, another option (and more preferable) is to put this in the \App\Providers\AppServiceProvider register() method.

/**
 * Register any application services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function register()
{
    // ...

    $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
        return base_path('public_html');
    });
}

You have to follow 2 steps to change your application's public folder to public_html then your can deploy it or anything you can do :)

    });
   

2. Open server.php you can see this code

How to change public directory to public_html directory for Laravel Mix

@Alfian has answered your question. But the solution you asked for, is not recommended when you are talking about renaming the public folder. You should not really rename your public folder while using Laravel.

But I can understand why you renamed it, to declare the default root folder. But there are better solutions instead of renaming it. And then there will be no such question too.

Best Solution: Upload the Laravel project as it is in the public_html folder. Go to your cPanel and enter Domains/Addon Domains/Subdomains (which type domain you are using) section and just change the Document Root as /public_html/public. You are done.

Update:

If it's a primary domain or addon domain there may not be an option directly to change the document root. Then we can just add a rule in the .htaccess file. Use this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

How to point laravel project to a public folder under public_html in shared hosting

Since you're using shared hosting, you need to change the document root of the domain to public_html/public. Then you need to point index.php to your Laravel project (which must only be located outside the public_html folder) by editing the following code:

require DIR.'/../../MyOtherDomain.com/vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once DIR.'/../../MyOtherDomain.com/bootstrap/app.php';

Note- MyOtherDomain.com folder should contain the Laravel project.

How to get public directory?

Use public_path()

For reference:

// Path to the project's root folder    
echo base_path();

// Path to the 'app' folder    
echo app_path();        

// Path to the 'public' folder    
echo public_path();

// Path to the 'storage' folder    
echo storage_path();

// Path to the 'storage/app' folder    
echo storage_path('app');
