This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to host a book built with GitBook on Netlify, including setting up continuous deployment. The process begins by creating a new directory and initializing it as a Git repository, followed by installing the necessary packages, including GitBook and its CLI tool. The guide then walks through connecting the repository to GitHub and configuring settings for continuous deployment. Once connected, users can push their changes to GitHub and Netlify will automatically deploy their site, making it live for public viewing.
