Community Repo Files and folders naming rules

v1.0

Folders

Folders should generally be named in lower case characters, with '-' as words separator. In other words, in lower kebab case: example-folder-in-lower-kebab-case

Files

For regular files, the general rule should be to use lower snake case: lower_Snake_Case. Uppercase is allowed, as well as numbers.

Not recommended to use:

1. Spaces
2. Non-English characters
3. Characters used in URLs: #, &, ?, :, /

These naming conventions can be overruled by the specific requirements dictated by respective software tools or libraries that a contributor choses to use for their coding contributions.
