You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^((admin|login)(/.*)?)?$ /#%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC,NE,R=302]

Also remember that web server doesn't URL part after # as that is resolved only on client side.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f skips this rule for all files.
Using ! negates whole match in RewriteRule pattern
((admin|login)(/.*)?)? matches anything that is /admin/ or /login/ OR emptry (landing page)
If negation is true then this rule redirects it to /#%{REQUEST_URI} where %{REQUEST_URI} represents original URI.

Doesn't work. Can't load /js and other dependencies. Can I check multiple urls in one line? admin, js, css, fonts, img, data and views? – Levan Lotuashvili Dec 27 '14 at 17:47
And can I add another url to not redirect? /admin and /login for example – Levan Lotuashvili Dec 27 '14 at 17:58
Modified rule and also added explanation with reference links. – anubhava Dec 27 '14 at 18:01
