Hey Guys,

I need to comment multiple lines on some configuration files, Please let
me know how to accomplish this task using puppet manifest?

Best


Comments in puppet are either

# This is a line comment

or

/* this is a
   multiline
   comment
*/

The later is normally not used and the style guide prescribes that only # comments should be used. There is however nothing stopping you from commenting out larger sequences of code with /* */. Note that you cannot comment out other /* */ comments, but commenting out # comments works fine. (This is one reason for never using /* */ for normal comments, so when in a pinch you can comment out a larger block of code).

If you find that you need to do that and keep the commented out block for a longer period of time, then that is a sign of "not doing it right", and you should probably be using branches in Git and simply remove the code and keep the alternative version in a branch.

Hope that helps.
