You could SSH or SFTP into the server using your SSH key but you would have to keep track of what file was changed and upload that specific file, but it's highly recommended you use some form of versioning control and deploy a specific branch. I'd also suggest figuring out some form of deployment like Laravel Forge.

Why not github? Would gitlab be better? Or gitolite?
