Move NX workspace from folder to root directory

[muriukialex]

Is it possible to move an NX workspace from a folder named my-workspace to the root level of the project, eg.

/my-worksapce
.git
.husky

my-workspace contains the folders and files below

├── apps
├── browserslist
├── BROWSER_SUPPORT_POLICY.md
├── bump-version.js
├── CHANGELOG.md
├── ci
├── CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
├── commitlint.config.js
├── components.json
├── CONTRIBUTING.md
├── DEV_DOCS.md
├── eslint.config.mjs
├── firebase.json
├── jest.config.cjs
├── jest.preset.js
├── knip.json
├── libs
├── LICENSE
├── migrations.json
├── _.npm_rc
├── _.npmrc
├── nx.json
├── package.json
├── package-lock.json
├── project.json
├── README.md
├── RELEASE_PROCESS.md
├── scripts
└── tsconfig.base.json

Such that, on moving the workspace to the root level, the below becomes the folder/files structure

├──.git # from the root level directory
├──.husky # from the root level directory
├── apps
├── browserslist
├── BROWSER_SUPPORT_POLICY.md

After moving the files manually to the root directory, I get this error

npx nx run host:keycloak --verbose

 NX   Cannot find configuration for task host:keycloak

The host folder contains a project.json file that has a target as specified below

"keycloak": {
      "executor": "nx:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "command": "cp -f apps/host/src/app/app.module.keycloak.ts apps/host/src/app/app.module.ts"
      }
    },
