# 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.
