Clear console after I ran code

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but everytime I run code it starts a new interpret line in the console, while I want it to clear the console.
I’m googling it and asking AI, but no luck. What am I missing?

This is a Replit update. With each new start, a new line will now be created in the console. This allows you to compare the results of launches. If you need to clear the console, you can click on the trash button on the console tab.

So no way to set it up to do this automatically after each time I run code?

No, I don’t think you can.

A “workaround” is to, at the start of your program, print enough lines so that the previous runs go away. Then, optionally, clear the console.
Here’s a python version:

How to auto-clear console history in python

UPDATE: I found a way to improve on this method. After you print some newlines, clear the console so that the output starts at the top, and so the run’s output does not have useless newlines. Note that a single previous run will still show, but it’s just one line at the top. Python version: import os def clear(): """There are many alternatives to clearing the console, this is just one.""" os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear') print('\n' * os.get_terminal_size().lines) clear() …
