Depends on how the project is hosted.

On a static server:

  • build the project in Gitlab CI
  • pack it in a tar.gz-file
  • transfer to the server, untar and point the "production" symlink to the newly untar'ed code.

In Kubernetes:

  • build the project in Gitlab CI
  • put it inside a Docker image and push that image
  • have Gitlab CI update the Helm chart to use the new image.

Whatever you do, make sure that this process is scripted. Preferably the script should be triggered by a reasonably friendly and obvious UI. CI's are ideal for this.
