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?

    For files? I like title case (like in article headlines). For example, I have a “Shell Tricks.txt”. I’m not really consistent though, sometimes it’s all lowercase or whatever really.

      spaces in filenames?
      oh, my sweet summer child.

        I don’t use a computer from the 90s. It can handle it.
