Just a heads up, I tampered around with redo-c. Find it at https://github.com/jorge-leon/redo-c It: - Captures stdout of do files in the target file. - Does not create an empty target if $3 is empty. This allows for "phony" targets and protects against silly mistakes. - Truncates targets

2020-04-02 Thread Georg Lehner
I just figured out, that `st` already has an unlimited scrollback buffer - kind of. Run `st -o /tmp/unlimited_scrollbackbuffer`. Than inside the `st` terminal, you can `less`, `vi` ... whatever you want. For a starter try: `less -r +G /tmp/unlimited_scrollbackbuffer` Of course it makes sense
