Naming Files

How to Name Files

  1. Use only Latin letters.
  2. Don’t use spaces (use - or _ instead).
  3. Don’t start with numbers.
  4. Don’t use periods (except before the file extension). Occasionally filenames will begin with a period, but they are exceptions.
  5. Don’t use capital letters (the use of camel case is fine: myFileName). The names of README files are usually capitalized, but that’s an exception.
  6. Don’t use special symbols like @#$%.
  7. Think of original, yet descriptive ways to name your files. Adding your last name is a perfect option for that: smith_EDA-project_v2.
