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?

    Since Linux is caps sensitive, at least I always use lowercase.

    I guess I use kebab case for any file used for IT projects

      That’s why camelcase starts with a lower letter. If you’re using a good terminal+shell setup then it’ll be irrelevant most of the time.
