How to Make A Comment in .htaccess

Comments are super important, especially in a large file. They help you remember what a specific chunk of code does, so you, or someone else, are able to quickly understand the file when looking at it on a later date.

So how do you make a comment?

Commenting is super simple, just follow these two rules!

A comment must be on its own line
A comment must start with a pound sign (Or hash character) “#”

What are some examples?

Example One:

ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html
# Hi! I am a super comment!!!
ErrorDocument 403 /error/403.html

Example Two

##########
#READ ME!
###########
ErrorDocument 403 /error/403

What are some invalid examples?

Don't copy this one!

Bad example:

ErrorDocument 401 /error/401
ErrorDocument 404 /error/404 #Not here!

Conclusion

That's it! Super simple, but you will thank yourself when it saves you time in the future. Happy coding!
