On the contrary, commit your code to your GitHub repo, triggering Xcode cloud build to take it from there, build, test, deploy to TestFlight or store.
Found a bug while backpacking Sardinia? Edit the GitHub repo source on your phone, commit... hey, new build shipped.

So my options are a 40gb compilation runtime, or a cloud build that bills me by the hour to avoid the 40gb compilation runtime.
You gotta hand it to Apple, any other audience would just call this "enshittification" and be done with it.
As I said, instead of providing tools, Apple locks you into a shitty GUI application. Thank you for giving another example.
