cygwin clearscreen from bash

Question

I want to clearscreen from bash in a cygwin terminal. I have tried

cmd /c cls
echo -e \"^V^L\"
echo -e \"\\014\"

None of these work - they all

Answer 1

Using shortcuts (for mitty console users)

Alt+F8 to clear screen and Ctrl-L to skip page

Using sh bash adding a command

If you use console2 or same consoles, you can add this sh code as without extension this location : ..\cygwin64\bin\

cls and /or clear (without extension)

#!/bin/sh
printf "\033c"

Then you can use cls and|or clear in cygwin command.
