As an advanced text editor, Vim has a lot of configuration options. These configuration options can be applied in different ways as temporary or permanent. The vimrc configuration file is used for permanent Vim configuration. While putting configurations inside the vimrc file we may need to write some comments in order to explain the given configuration.
Single Line Comment in vimrc (Vim Configuration) File
The vimrc or Vim configuration file uses the double quote for a single-line comment. A single quote at the start of the line will make this line a comment and not be interpreted as a configuration. If the single quote is not at the start of the line it will be interpreted as a configuration.
