The name should be short. A long name will be tedious to type, so don’t call you version control program my-awesome-version-control-program. Call it something short, such as avc (Awesome Version Control).
$ my-aw<TAB> # yay!
Personally, I am not a big fan of everyone using two or three-letter linux names for everything. We have a lot of options now for autocompletion and seeing what is available, so long names are no longer a talking point.

- Xurinos 15y agoI prefer - over _ over smashingwordstogether. There are the benefits of readability and not needing to intermittently press the shift key. Also, you might prefer bind 'tab:menu-complete' or to assign that to a different key. This allows you to quickly cycle through valid options so you are not playing "what's the next letter?" games.
