Use dashes in filenames

What is the pattern of the filename where an ADR is stored?

Considered Options

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: NNNN-title-with-dashes.md, because

  • NNNN provides a unique number, which can be used for referencing in the forms
    • ADR-0001 in plain text and
    • by @ADR(1) Java code (enabled by e-adr)
  • The creation time of an ADR is of historical interest only, if it gets updated somehow. The arguments are similar than the ones by Does Git have keyword expansion?
  • Having no spaces in filenames eases working in the command line
  • This is exactly the format offered by adr-tools
