'How to comment in Vim's config files: ".vimrc"?

How do I add a comment in Vim's configuration files, like .vimrc?



Solution 1:[1]

A double quote to the left of the text you want to comment.

Example: " this is how a comment looks like in ~/.vimrc

To be clear: Do not include a closing double quote. (See comment from Arslan Ali below.)

Example:

set cul "Highlight current line
