cygwin clearscreen from bash


Or you could try ctrl-L :)

That should work in most emulated terminals as well.


There is two ways:

Using shortcuts

Alt+F8 to clear screen and Ctrl-L to skip page

Using Clear alias

  1. Go to: cygwin\home\USER\.bashrc
  2. Open .bashrc file and put this alias alias clear='printf "\033c"'.
  3. restart your cygwin terminal.
  4. to clear your screen use clear command.


If it's contained in your cygwin install (run Cygwin's setup and make sure you have the package called "ncurses"), try

tput clear
