TIL about less -S
⭐️ a blog post
I was pretty frustrated by some tools that kept outputting way too much info in my terminal so I read through man less
and finally found the option to not wrap (-S
or --chop-long-lines
) and allow lines to scroll off the right edge. One can move around with the left and right arrows to see all the info.
