Hello,
Forge does the deployment of code from Github as well. I'd start with Forge and then consider Envoyer later. Read "Introducing Envoyer.io" by Matt Stauffer (mattstauffer.com) Forge deployment scripts to do my homework

Forge and Envoyer worth it?
I've been developing with Laravel for about 3 months now, and to get used to things I'm looking to actually start hosting my application online to see how they perform.
I'm a member of Laracasts and Jeffrey Way suggests using Forge and Envoyer to help maintain and deploy the Laravel apps online. I like Envoyer's deployment of code directly from github, it would save me having to FTP my code directly to the server with the risk of certain files failing the transfer.
I'm going to start out with my own personal website, as I'm currently redesigning it and will have some webapp compabilities. I already have a DigitalOceans account, looking to use their $10 a month option to host my redesign, and will use it in future for other projects.
Would paying another $20 per month for Forge and Envoyer be worth it? I know in future it will be beneficial, I'm just unsure at the moment I don't have any immediate projects ready to deploy after this first one. https://trackeasy.fun/usps/ https://showbox.tools/ https://speedtest.vet/

@kruser also there are some free videos on Envoyer.
I would say for a professional developer who deploys regular, yes it's worth it. But if someone only has one single site (like hobby only), then it's really up to you. Just suggestions.
