Clone or Download instructions

There are several ways to get hold of the HTML5 Boilerplate code.

Latest stable release

This is your safest bet when using HTML5 Boilerplate to start a new project.

Choose a download from html5boilerplate.com

This will provide you with the latest stable release. It can be downloaded in two flavors: commented or stripped. The commented version contains all of the inline comments in the code, whereas the stripped version does not. There is also a custom download option that lets you make a few simple changes to meet your preferences.

N.B. You can also get zip file downloads of tagged releases directly from GitHub

Advanced customization via Initializr

The Initializr project lets you pick and choose precisely what parts of HTML5 Boilerplate you'd like to include in your download.

Latest master branch

This is the way to go if you want to experiment with the latest code and contribute back to the project.

Clone the repository from GitHub using git:

git clone https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate.git

or download a zipball of the master branch.
