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?

    Now do it with a for loop on every file in a dir with thousands of files

      for i in path/to/dir/*
  dosomething_with_my_file $i
end

      where is the problem? fish shell doesn’t split arguments at spaces

          IFS is a special shell variable in bash, ksh and POSIX shells that lets you configure how the shell splits words

          by default it splits at spaces tabs and newlines

          I use fish a shell that is intentionally not POSIX compatible. While it borrows some principles from Bash and POSIX, it simplifies a lot of things and removes most footguns. Words are split at new lines in fish, which admittedly can also cause troubles, but not nearly as often as in bash and other POSIXy shells.
