clone.sh

a_small_note.md

This let's me git clone a template repo, cd into and fire up a new template in my editor of choice:

$ clone starter # clones https://github.com/addyosmani/starter (a personal boilerplate)

$ clone h5bp html5-boilerplate # get me HTML5 Boilerplate

$ clone angular angular-seed # same for AngularJS seed

$ clone polymerlabs seed-element # same for a new Polymer element

No dependencies involved at all. Easy to add a mkdir step to this so you can do new h5bp, new boilerplate etc.
