Bash - comments

In this article, we would like to show you how to create comments in Bash.

Quick solution:

#!/bin/bash

# Single-line comment in bash

echo "Example message..." # Inline comment in bash

Explanation

In order to create comments in Bash, we need to use the hash character (#). Every word after the # will be ignored by the Bash shell.

Note:

Bash comments can only be single-line comments.
