Where to get files

There are three ways to get HTML5 Boilerplate, which are as follows:

  • From the website: The latest stable version of the project is available at html5boilerplate.com.
  • From Initializr: Jonathan Verecchia hosts a more expansive set of modules to choose from at initializr.com. All the modules here are from the stable version that is available on the website.
  • From the Github home page: HTML5 Boilerplate is hosted on Github. The latest files are available from the project's github page at github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate. You are safe to use these files when starting your new project and you are guaranteed to get the latest version of these files when you download from Github.

As you are just getting started with HTML5 Boilerplate, I strongly recommend you to download the files from Github, and even better to do so via Git, so you can easily update them when the master files on Github get updated.

Note

If you are unfamiliar with Git, Roger Dudler maintains a great introduction to get you started at rogerdudler.github.com/git-guide/; if you are new to the concept of version control, there is a good explanation of what it is and why it is useful at hoth.entp.com/output/git_for_designers.html.
