What stages does an application go through from a repository to a pod?

Question

Continuous Integration

Hello
, I apologize for such noob questions. So far, I have a hard time imagining how an application from a turnip is deployed in Kubernetes. Let
's say I have one. Project folder:

./app.py
Dockerfile .git
_

The docker file contains commands for building the image with downloading dependencies and throwing the application itself into the container.
But how should it unfold further as a pod?
I understand that this requires CI / CD. Can you "on the fingers" using the example of Gitlab CI explain how this image is automatically assembled and pushed into the cuber? Or at least a link to an intelligible article. I read about autodevops, but I haven't got it yet.
Those. it is clear that you can use your private docker registry with handles to push a fresh image of a new turnip into it, and from there deploy deployment through kubectl, but why then ci.))
Thank you

Good afternoon.
And if you have fifty such applications? Hands are not enough.
Pretty good articles are on medium.com or here for starters: CI/CD on Kubernetes with GitLab
