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 :)

    Some people are saying to use less or more. But what you really wanna do is dump the output to a text file then less or more the file. You can delete the file later

    I always use my desktop for this bc the icons annoy me so I know I’ll nuke it later.

    But anyway this is better in general bc often you’ll forget what the output was or you’ll want to reference it somehow
