Issue comments:
Now I use following naming: issue#704_Some_inforamive_words
I suppose that it is convenient, informative and beautiful.
How do you think?
I suggest it would be nice to use grouping tokens at least.
For example:
`issues/123`
`feature/feature_name`
`bugfix/fix_thing`
Take a look at PR #731.

+
+### Branch naming
+
+In order to keep branch names understandable and similar please use the corresponding branch naming conventions.
+
+Generally speaking, it's a good idea to add a group/type prefix for a branch, e.g., 
+if you're working on a specific branch you could name your branch `issues/xxx`. 
+
+Here's a list of good examples:<br/>
+`issues/123`<br/>
+`feature/feature_name`<br/>
+`bugfix/fix_thing`<br/>
+
+### Code style
+
+There's a file called `checkstyle.xml` in project root under `etc` directory.<br/>
+You can import it into IntelliJ IDEA via checkstyle plugin. 
+
+### Naming conventions
+
+REST paths should be **lowercase** and consist of just **plural** nouns.<br/>
+Also, multiple words in a single path segment should be divided by a hyphen symbol (`-`).<br/>
+
+Query variable names should be formatted in `camelCase`.
+
+Model names should consist of just **plural** nouns and should be formatted in `camelCase` as well.
