What are the main differences between the two gems jekyll and github-pages?

And why does GitHub recommend using github-page with Pages?

Probably because they have more control of github-pages. Note that "Why" in your title is a totally separate question than "What are the differences". Neither are a easy to answer in a Q&A style, I'm afraid. – dimo414

The github-pages gem will load all dependencies needed to run Jekyll exactly like on GitHub Pages.

jekyll gem is just Jekyll.
