Git cloning in current directory

I'm trying to clone the HTML 5 Boiler Plate from GitHub, but it's creating a folder in my directory called html5bp. What I am trying to do is clone the contents directly into the directory without creating a sub directory. Here is what I'm using:

git clone http://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate.git

I know it's possible, but I'm new to using git so don't know the ins and outs of it just yet.

You can specify the directory (which has to be empty):

git clone http://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate.git mydirectory

For more help on git commands, try git help <command>, e.g., git help clone.
