clear (BASH/Linux, version 3.2.48)

Article is using GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

The clear command is useful in many situations, most often simply when the terminal window just seems too cluttered. Its hard to see through the messy code that I don’t need any-more; how do I get rid of it? Just type clear.



Syntax:

clear [ any options ignored ]

clear Attempts to clear the current terminal screen of output, then return the prompt.

Examples:

  • clear
    This will clear any command ive previously typed in the shell window, then return me back to a prompt.
