I am working on a project in Laravel where I am storing some settings in .env file setting like few parameters for testing purpose and few parameters are for live working so I was just checking that is there any way to comment in .env file of Laravel.

Here is an example

/* Test Settings */
ACCESS_KEY=qwsdr
ACCESS_TOKEN=Bgcvfsx

/* Live Settings */
ACCESS_KEY=985AsdefG
ACCCESS_TOKEN=LFP994kL

You use hash commenting:

# Test Settings
ACCESS_KEY=qwsdr
ACCESS_TOKEN=Bgcvfsx

# Live Settings
ACCESS_KEY=985AsdefG
ACCCESS_TOKEN=LFP994kL
