A classic: good knight vs bad bishop

The eternal duel knight vs bishop is one of the many things that make chess so interesting. In the diagram position, White's knight is better than Black's bishop. But White still has to find a way to win. What should he do?

Sometimes good, sometimes bad - knights in the endgame

Not so dim | ChessBase

Knights are tricky pieces. In the diagram position White's knight is on the rim and White's king feels somewhat uncomfortable. However, White has a strong passed pawn on g5 and a passed pawn on the h-file that can become strong, and it is Black who has to fight for a draw. What should he do to save half a point?
