From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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 took a CS class that was java based, and now my go-to is Pascal for file names. Sometimes I do flat or screaming just 'cause.
