Clear garbage output from the Terminal

By | November 19, 2008

Sometimes you do something like

cat /bin/cat

and your Terminal fills with characters. The bad part is that you have to clear the screen to get a usable BASH prompt since now everything you type is unintelligible. Clear your Terminal screen with

reset

Type the word then press the Enter key to get a working prompt back.
