What's your deployment flow?

I've been deploying a few Laravel sites now, and tried a variety of approaches. It seems that github's autodeploy via plesk is the quickest one, but it does introduce the issue of having to keep the whole vendor folder, as well as .env, on there. Moving them via ftp is better for me, but it does take time, especially if you edit files that get compiled and are not 100% sure of which one has been, or not.

I am curious to know what y'all use as deployment flow :)
