As far as I know there are these;

  • Camel case = coolFileName
  • Snake case = cool_file_name
  • Kebab case = cool-file-name
  • Pascal case = CoolFileName
  • Dot notation = cool.file.name
  • Flat case = coolfilename
  • Screaming case = COOLFILENAME

Personally I prefer the kebab/dot conventions simply because they allow for easy “navigation” with (ctrl+arrow keys) between each part. What are your preferences when it comes to this? Did I miss any schemes?

    I like Camel Case for code, but mostly because it’s ingrained in my brain, coming from Java as my first language.

    For folders and files, I like Kebab Case.

      Luckily, I was not ingrained by my first programming language like that, or my coworkers would strangle me.

      I started with BASIC, which allowed only two letters for variable names…
