Naming Snippets Well

Naming Snippets Well

Your snippet names determine how quickly you can find things.

Good snippet names

• docker prune all
• git reset to remote
• postgres create role
• macos clear dns cache

Avoid

• test
• new command
• random

A simple pattern

Verb + object + context

Example:

• create user (mysql)
• restart nginx (prod)

Tip

Use a consistent naming style so search results feel predictable.
