Clear screen and scrollback on Linux.

🐚 Bash,
📜 Files.

[cls] (similar to [clear] in Unix-like systems) is a builtin command in
Windows [Command prompt], which clears the screen and scrollback (entire
screen buffer), and resets the cursor to the top-left corner of the screen.
The cls command actually has its origins in [BASIC]. This package provides the
same behaviour as mentioned above on Linux (with [bash] shell). I often
prefer this instead of clear when the output of a command is long. You can
install this with npm install -g cls.sh.
