How to setup GitLab Runner for deploy on Windows 7 and 10?

Question

git

Good day!
There are a number of machines running Windows 7 and 10, all x64.
There is a process of developing some software in Lua, Python within GitLab.
Each software has its own separate project. Projects contain sources (*.py/*.lua) and compiled binaries.
When distributed using GitLab Runner, it clones the entire repository. How to prevent sources from getting on target machines?
Now a branch release has been created for this, where the source texts have been removed. Accordingly, when pushing, the task is launched:

stages:
  - deploy
to_machine_one:
  only:
    refs:
      - release
  tags:
    - to_machine_one
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - set DEST_DIR=C:\stat
    - IF not exist %DEST_DIR% (mkdir %DEST_DIR%)
    - xcopy dist C:\stat /Q /R /Y
to_machine_two:
  only:
    refs:
      - release
  tags:
    - to_machine_two
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - set DEST_DIR=C:\stat
    - IF not exist %DEST_DIR% (mkdir %DEST_DIR%)
    - xcopy dist C:\stat /Q /R /Y

This path is inconvenient due to the need to develop in the master branch, compile, switch to release and move the binary from master:
git checkout master dist/someprogram.exe
And accordingly, this path is probably wrong. How is it actually worth preventing the sources from getting on the machine?

Answer 1

Divide the process into 2 stages:

1. First, run locally on the runner, collect artifacts
   
2. The second you deliver these artifacts to the servers
