Is there a naming convention for git repositories?

Question

For example, I have a RESTful service called Purchase Service. Should I name my repository:

1. purchaserestservice
2. purchase-rest-service

Answer 1

I'd go for purchase-rest-service. Reasons:

1. What is "pur chase rests ervice"? Long, concatenated words are hard to understand. I know, I'm German. "Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitänspatentausfüllungsassistentenausschreibungsstellenbewerbung."

2. "_" is harder to type than "-"
