git clone https://github.com/paulirish/html5-boilerplate.git
cd html5-boilerplate
git checkout v2.0stripped

EADME
Use: 

$ cd /path/to/where/to/start/project
$ sh /path/to/h5bp.sh

I have it in my Users/username folder (on my mac) so I do:
$ cd htdocs
$ sh ~/h5bp.sh

Alternatively:
-Edit your ~/.profile file and 
1) add ~/ to your PATH variable if not already there
2) create an alias:
alias h5bp="sh /path/to/h5bp.sh"
