How to get Apache2 to redirect to a subdirectory

Feel a bit silly – a bit more googling turned up the answer I was after:

RedirectMatch ^/$ /git/

Basically redirecting the root, and only the root.

This code could do in a .htaccess file (there is a tag for this, so I assume that is the original use case). But if you can edit ,the main server apache config then put it in the section for your website probably inside a <VirtualHost> section.

The docs for RedirectMatch say that the context can be “server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess”.
