http - How to add `nofollow, noindex` all pages in robots.txt?

Question

I want to add nofollow and noindex to my site whilst it's being built. The client has request I use these rules.

I am aware of

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

But I only have access to the robots.txt file.

Does anyone know the correct format I can use to apply noindex, nofollow rules via the robots.txt file?

Answer 1

noindex and nofollow means you do not want your site to crawl in search engine.

so simply put code in robots.txt

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

it means noindex and nofollow.
