From the 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 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.
This repository is where HTML5-Boilerplate is authored. Some of the tools, files and processes that you see here are solely for the production of HTML5 Boilerplate and are not part of HTML5 Boilerplate. For one example, the gulpfile.mjs script is used to build the project. It's not part of the project itself.
The project we publish is represented by the contents of the
/dist/folder. Everything else in this repository is used to author the project.Think of it this way, in the same way that you don't clone vuejs/core to create a Vue.js app, you don't need to clone this repository to start a new site or app based on HTML5 Boilerplate.
So, if you're looking for a quick start template to build a website or application, look at the options in the Quick Start section of this document.
If you want to help us improve HTML5 Boilerplate then you can start with the documentation here, which includes steps to clone this repo in order to get it set up for development.
