I'm new to ubuntu using the terminal to code some ruby.
Everytime I run this command it outputs like 600 lines of data that I need to analyze.
But when I try to scroll up to see everything alot of the output is cut off.
Is there any way to change the settings of the terminal or another command prompt program or any other options that I can use to take a look all of the data?
Right-click the title bar or click the upper-left corner of the Command Prompt window and select Properties. Click the Layout tab.
In the Linux terminal, you can scroll up by page using the Shift + PageUp shortcut. And to scroll down in the terminal, use Shift + PageDown. To go up or down in the terminal by line, use Ctrl + Shift + Up or Ctrl + Shift + Down respectively.
When you want putty to log all your session output, you have to change the default settings. This is pretty simple: open putty and go to Session->Logging. Select all session output and specify a log file.
Once you have opened the Command Prompt window and started executing commands, Windows will save the history for your active session. To see the list of recently executed commands in CMD, press F7 key. This will open a pop-up inside CMD showing the list of recently executed commands.
The prompt command is used to customize the appearance of the prompt text in Command Prompt or MS-DOS. The prompt command is available in all versions of Windows, as well as in MS-DOS.
If you close the Command prompt window, and on the next opening of CMD, all the previous commands will be gone. Now open Command Prompt window, and start executing your commands. Suddenly you need the previous command you just wrote, but it just skipped from your mind.
Although Microsoft has released more tools like PowerShell and Windows Terminal, users still like to use the Command Prompt for their day-to-day command line tasks.
Inside your Terminal Window, go to Edit | Profile Preferences
, click on the Scrolling
tab, and check the Unlimited
checkbox underneath the Scrollback XXX lines
row. Click Close
and be happy.
Run the command with
> command | less
It will only show you as many lines as it can fit on the screen, and then you can scroll down to read the rest.
