Is there a way to comment out a multi-line bash command, without commenting out each line with a preceding #? when a single command is composed of several lines continued via a slash that is.

    Is this just to save some typing of #'s, or why? Some text editors / IDE's (Geany) can comment & uncomment lots of lines at once

  • Yes, it's also for that, if your IDE doesn't support it, for sane debug workflows
