This describes the naming convention used for organizations created as part of the GitHub program.
Organization names should follow the format prefix-id-name using the guidelines below. The maximum length of the organization is 39 characters.
All organizations should begin with "ucsb-".
The identifier should be a recognizable name that relates the repo to a department in the format "id-". For student organizations not related to a department stu- should be used.
The postfix should be descriptive of the organization, such as the purpose or name of the team/lab.
There may be situations that require deviation from the naming standard outlined in this document. Valid exceptions include:
- Public organizations with a well established name
- Applications specific requirements
- Organizations annexed into the program
Exceptions will be vetted with the Github administrators.
