Can you edit (say Jekyll blogs) on GitHub and them somehow push to Netlify automatically?

This is critical for me since I edit using my Android Jekyll-optimized tool Teddy Hyde (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.EditorHyde...).

Yes, as soon as you commit, the site will get built and go live.

I host my Jekyll blog (zeph.co) on Netlify and can confirm that you can do this.

Netlify connects to GitHub and rebuilds your site automatically when a change is made in the master branch. There's no technical setup – you just connect to your GitHub account with their UI.

I used to use GitHub Pages to host my blog, but Netlify provides more features and it's also free.

Have you tried using Github pages for that? Really easy to setup Jekyll blogs there

Sure, but GitHub Pages is a relatively “dumb” host. You don’t get preview builds, branch deploys, and lots of other things. It’s nice for a minimal approach but for a large site with lots of people working on it I would not recommend it.
