Step by step instructions to remove public

Step 1: Create a new folder by the name “code”.

Step 2: Move all the files except “code” and “public” to the “code” folder. The new directory structure will look something like this:

code

public

Step 3: Move all the files from the “public” folder to out of the “public” folder.
