Ask HN: What's Your Company's Repository Naming Convention?

2 points by _zeta 2y ago ↗ HN

I'm curious about how different companies approach the repo creation task (can you create infinite private repos? Do you have to ask for permission? etc..) and how many have a fixed naming convention.

The company i work for ha2e something like "XYZ Applications".

The %20 in the url irks me every fricken time.

I prefer kebab-case on my projects.

I think it's per team and you can create as few or as many repos as you like.

At my last job naming was a free-for-all for a while but then someone stepped in so that we didn't end up with endless obscurely named microservices.
