This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to host a Jekyll project on Netlify, including setting up continuous deployment. To start, users need to have Ruby and RubyGems installed, and then install Jekyll using the `gem install` command. Next, they create a new Jekyll project using `jekyll new`, and prepare their project for GitHub by listing files, confirming Gemfile versions, and adding a `.gitignore` file. Once the project is pushed to GitHub, users connect it to Netlify by authorizing access and selecting the repository. They then configure settings, build their site, and wait for Netlify to deploy it. The guide assumes Jekyll 4.0.0 and Ruby 2.7.0 versions, but notes that screenshots may be outdated.
