# naming/paths

> Checks every file stem and folder name against the case rules of its language and the banned words.

Checks every file stem and folder name against the case rules of its language and the banned words.

Part of the [`naming`](/reference/configurations/naming/) configuration, at the `all` [level](/start/concepts/#levels). It runs at the `commit` [stage](/start/concepts/#stage), per file. gspot runs this check itself.

## Why

A file such as `enhanced-utils.ts` collects code with no clear place. One case rule keeps imports predictable.

## What to do

Rename the file or folder, or add a path rule under \[\[naming.override]] with a reason.

## Example

`utils/format.js` reports `utils`. Move it into the folder of the feature it serves, such as `invoices/format.js`.

## Turn it off

Turn it off for some files, with a reason:

```shell
gspot ignore naming/paths --paths "<glob>" --reason "<why>"
```
