Wipe

Wipe your terminal with a smooth animation.

This is the perfect program for you, if you like clear but want to add an unnecessary animation.

Download options can be found in the release tab.

Configuration

All configuration is done using command line parameters. For a list of parameters, execute wipe -h. Note that some parameters like --color can be specified multiple times with different values.

If you want a persistent solution, you can add an alias to your .bashrc equivalent.

# Persistent config
alias wipe='wipe -c red'

# Replace clear with wipe
alias clear='wipe'

If you are using ZSH as your shell, you can add a keyboard shortcut like this:

# Bind wipe to CTRL+W
wipe-zle() { 
  wipe
  zle reset-prompt 
}
zle -N wipe-zle
bindkey '^w' wipe-zle
