Specifically, in my case, I'm using GitHub.

We create a ton of different types of applications (websites, desktop apps, tools, etc.) and we have about 50+ to migrate over to GitHub from Visual SVN. In VSVN, you can create subfolders which is what we did for each category. But I'm reading that for GitHub, you want each repository to house just one application.

So I was thinking I could organize the repos with naming conventions. For example, if an app is a website, I can name it "sites-this-is-my-website" or if it's a tool, something like "tools-this-is-my-tool"

Has anyone else run in to anything similar?
