How to redirect website http to https by htaccess

When we use SSL on our website for security purposes, we must write a rule for redirection HTTP to HTTPS, so it is straightforward. We can do this via the .htaccess file. There are some steps following:

Step1 : Create .htacess file 
Step2 :  Write the following code :

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain-name\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain-name/$1 [R,L]

Step3 : In the place of domain-name, write your domain name and replace .com with your domain extension
