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?

    camelCase for non-source-code files. I find camelCase faster to “parse” for some reason (probably just because I’ve spent thousands of hours reading and writing camelCase code). For programming, I usually just use whatever each language’s standard library uses, for consistency. I prefer camelCase though.
