How do I comment on the Windows command line?

Question

In Bash, # is used to comment the following. How do I make a comment on the Windows command line?

Answer 1

Sometimes, it is convenient to add a comment to a command line. For that, you can use "&REM misc comment text" or, now that I know about it, "&:: misc comment text". For example:

REM SET Token="4C6F72656D20697073756D20646F6C6F" &REM This token is for localhost
SET Token="722073697420616D65742C20636F6E73" &REM This token is for production

This makes it easy to keep track of multiple sets of values when doing exploration, tests of concept, etc. This approach works because '&' introduces a new command on the same line.
