Naming

How to write Octopus

The brand name is "Octopus", one word, always capitalized. When additional context is needed, use "Octopus Code Review" as the descriptive form.

Brand name

"Octopus" is the primary brand name. Use it standalone whenever the context is clear.

Descriptive form

When you need to clarify what the product does, in SEO, directory listings, or first mentions, use "Octopus Code Review".

"Octopus" refers to both the product and the company. Don't prefix it with "the" in product context.
