Answer 1

there is answer in github issue

Put .htaccess in src folder (final path for is src/.htaccess)

Add it to angular-cli.json in the assets array (like favicon.ico).

Have something similar to this:
"assets": [ "assets", "assets/images/favicon.ico", ".htaccess" ],

Answer 2

By having .htaccess outside the src, you'll most likely to get the following error,

An unhandled exception occurred: The .htaccess asset path must start with the project source root.

The corrected approach is this,

"assets": [
  "src/favicon.ico",
  "src/assets",
  "src/.htaccess"
],
...

Make sure to put your .htaccess file under src.

With the above settings, when you run your build, you'll get the .htaccess inside the dist.
