# Comments

Add comments to your Bash scripts for notes and clarity. Lines starting with `#` are ignored by the interpreter.

```bash
# This is a comment. It will not run.
```

Let's create a new script, `shinobi.sh`, and include comments:

```bash
touch shinobi.sh
```

Now, open `shinobi.sh` and add this:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Ask the user for their name

read -p "What is your name? " name

# Greet the user

echo "Hi there $name"

echo "Welcome to Dev Team Six!"
```

Save and exit.

Make your script executable and run it:

```bash
chmod +x shinobi.sh
./shinobi.sh
```

Comments are essential. They make your code readable, for yourself and for anyone else who works on it. Clarity drives efficiency.
