I am using git-bash on Windows. I want to scroll past the bottom of the screen, so that there is empty space below the input line. I prefer to look at the centre or top of the screen when typing commands. Basically I want an equivalent to Matlab's home command, which makes all the visible text move upwards out of view, instead of clearing the text.

  • This is similar to [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18704222/command-to-clear-the-git-bash-screen) which ask what is the equivalent of Window's `cls` command, except I do not want something exactly the same as `cls`. – Strategy Thinker Jun 16 '16 at 17:27

The clear command, despite its name, will do this.

The clear command takes no input arguments. It moves the old text upwards, instead of removing it like windows cls command does.

  • I am not sure why this is downvoted, even if the original question is a duplicate or in the wrong place, this is still a correct answer. – Strategy Thinker Jun 16 '16 at 17:29
