HTML5 Boilerplate

HTML5 Boilerplate is a professional front-end template for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.

This project is the product of over 10 years of iterative development and community knowledge. It does not impose a specific development philosophy or framework, so you're free to architect your code in the way that you want.

Quick start

Choose one of the following options:

Download the latest stable release from html5boilerplate.com. This zip file is a snapshot of the dist folder. On Windows, Mac and from the file manager on Linux unzipping this folder will output to a folder named something like html5-boilerplate_v7.3.0. From the command line will need to create a folder and unzip the contents into that folder.
```
mkdir html5-boilerplate
unzip html5-boilerplate*.zip -d html5-boilerplate
```
Clone the git repo — git clone https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate.git - and checkout the tagged release you'd like to use. The dist folder represents the latest version of the project for end users.
Install with npm: npm install html5-boilerplate or yarn: yarn add html5-boilerplate. The resulting node_modules/html5-boilerplate/dist folder represents the latest version of the project for end users. Depending on what you want to use and how you want to use it, you may have to copy and paste the contents of that folder into your project directory.
Using our new create-html5-boilerplate project, instantly fetch the latest npm published package (or any version available on npm) with npx, npm init or yarn create without having to install any dependencies. Running the following npx command installs the latest version into a folder called new-site
```
npx create-html5-boilerplate new-site
cd new-site
npm install
npm start
```
