index.html - can I take it out from CI in a safe way?

index.html is all over CI to avoid direct folder access I assume..

Is there a safe way to remove this? Maybe with .htaccess rules or something like that. What do you guys think about this?

I kinda hate having index.html all over my project...

Change your structure dir project like CodeIgniter4

Code:

application/
.. config/
.. controllers/
.. ..
public_html/index.php
system/

In your ../public_html/index.php file:

Code:

$system_path = '../system';

$application_folder = '../application';

Other reference about .htaccess for local or development you can see this example from  Phalcon Tutorial.
