How do you handle automatic deployment for websites? (swg-empire.de)

I have a small website with the git code hosted on my own Forgejo instance. I want to give my wife easy access to the code to update texts. I think using Forgejo is an easy enough interface for her to do that.

But how do I ensure that every commit is reflected on the website in a timely manner? I think webhooks are the usual answer. But do I add them to the website itself or do I run a separate service for that? If the latter, can you recommend one?

Or is there a better way? Seems kind of roundabout since the website and Forgejo run on the same hardware.

My SO outputs static HTML, moves it to a folder in Nextcloud, and a process syncs it to the server. I don't version her content, just the app code, but the sync target is backed up. I use nginx to serve the HTML at /whatever-folder/some-file-name and inject other client content.
