Using Design Manager in SharePoint 2013, you can convert .html file into a Master Page. After completion of the conversion process both HTML and Master Pages are get associated with each other, so when you change the HTML file and save, the changes are synced to the associated Master Page. If you use Design Manager in SharePoint 2013 then you do not have to know about SharePoint specific mark-up or ASP.NET. As a designer you can concentrate on CSS, HTML and JavaScript.
Note: The synchronization process works in one direction only, any changes to the HTML page are synced to the master page but If you change the master page then those changes would not reflect in HTML page. Every HTML master page has a property Associated File which is set to true by default.
