Let's say I am calling ls -la, which produces a very long output. Is there any key/command which lets my console scroll up to the first line of the output?
Go to first line of console output of a command
shell;terminal;output
If the output is very long you could use the less command like below:your_command_here | lessAnd then scroll all the way down by pressing keys like Enter, Space etc.For more see the less manpage.You could even use moreyou_command_here | moremore works like less but uses different key combinations to page through the text. For more see the more manpage.Now you might remember that very old quote :less is more
