Custom HTML5 Boilerplate

Every time I grab HTML5 Boilerplate to start a project, I need to make some changes: convert index.html into index.jade, delete the included jquery files and instead grab them with bower, etc. I'm hoping to make all those changes here, once, and save some time in the future.

My main branch is called custom, so that I can preserve all branch and tag names from the original H5BP repository.

Currently it's based on H5BP 4.3.0; I'll merge in new releases when they're made, and if I need them.

Below is the original H5BP readme


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

This project is the product of many years of iterative development and combined 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.

  1. Download the latest stable release from html5boilerplate.com or a custom build from Initializr.
