[Help-bash] Multi line comment

[Jerry]

I am sort of new to using Bash. Bash apparently does not have a built in
multi line comment feature like in C. I Googled and discovered quite a few
methods. I was wondering what is the preferred method by bash gurus.

The preferred method is to put # on each line.

# This is a comment.
# It spans several lines.
# Because I had a lot to say.

Really, don't try to be "clever". This is a shell script. Keep it simple.

I agree with Greg, a plugin like
https://github.com/tomtom/tcomment_vim for vim can help
make the task less arduous.

I kind of figured that I was over thinking it.
