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 do the flatcase in my machines too, but it stopped being such big a nuisance to me when I moved to ZSH - it can autocomplete case-insensitively.

      Is zsh a terminal or a language like bash? I don’t get what it is from reading descriptions

        Zsh is a shell like bash that supports shell scripting like bash (though with some syntactical differences). It’s a bit more like ksh than bash, but anyone familiar with bash will have no problems with zsh.

        You can check out oh-my-zsh for an accessible preconfigured version of it (though I’d suggest installing via your package manager rather than the script on their website). I like the jreese theme.
