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?

    It heavily depends on the context: Filenames? Variables? Functions? Interfaces/Classes? Java? C? Shell?

      I usually like to call my functions cool-Filename and my variables moronic_typeClass. Shell executable aliases look like ‘if\ then\ else’ and C constants are ‘IFTHANELSE’
