I often use clear when I need to rerun the same command and want to see the output in isolation each time, so I might run clear && ./build.sh and then just press the up arrow and run it again.
But I think, many people are also just not aware of the keyboard shortcut or don’t care to remember it, since they don’t use it often and clear is easy enough to guess.
I guess I’m the other kind of brain. I tap Ctrl+l on cooldown. But the up arrow thing makes sense. But still doesn’t explain the alias if you’re not actually typing it often.
