Inline comments for Bash?

Question

I\'d like to be able to comment out a single flag in a one-line command. Bash only seems to have from # till end-of-line comments. I\'m looking at tricks like:<

Answer 1

For disabling a part of a command like a && b, I simply created an empty script x which is on path, so I can do things like:

mvn install && runProject

when I need to build, and

x mvn install && runProject

when not (using Ctrl + A and Ctrl + E to move to the beginning and end).

As noted in comments, another way to do that is Bash built-in : instead of x:

$  : Hello world, how are you? && echo "Fine."
Fine.
