I often want to read output from the terminal from the beginning but by default I have to scroll back up. This can be laborious when there is a lot of text. Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks :)

One option that hasn’t been mentioned yet:
head. It will only show the first 10 (or is it 20?) lines of the output you pipe into it by default, but you can also pass a parameter to change the number of lines shown. The complement of this command istail, to show only the last N lines. Both these commands are handy when you only want to see the first/last lines of output.
