## Clearing your terminal

If your screen gets too cluttered, you can clear your terminal using the
`clear` command. You can still access previous commands using <kbd>↑</kbd>
and <kbd>↓</kbd> to move line-by-line, or by scrolling in your terminal.

For some Bash configurations, `clear` may also clear the scrollbuffer and you
will not be able to scroll back after using `clear`; using `clear -x` prevents
this. An alternative to `clear -x` is the keyboard shortcut `Control-L`.
