How do you clear the Linux terminal screen?

Answer 1

If you mean on the command line, then the command is:

clear

Of course, if your encoding's been messed up, you can also clear up this little problem with the command:

reset

Answer 2

Type ^L (which means CTRL+L).

Some sources say you can use the command "clear", but that did not work for my Cygwin installation.

Answer 3

With the clear command.
