Greetings, I love using ollama.

How can we make the /clear command clear the terminal as well?

Thanks

For the time being you can use "Command + k" on Mac to clear but would be nice to have that too.
Also /clear is already defined to clear the session context

@ramtinkermani command K is working fine, bug when I type ollama run llama3 and after a prompt, I type /clear it's not working as you said.

/clear
Unknown command '/clear'. Type /? for help
/?

/show Show model information
/load Load a session or model
/save Save your current session
/bye Exit
/?, /help Help for a command

@igorschlum
Clear was added in version v0.1.38. Make sure you have a newer version installed:

When I launch Ollama and it detects that there's a new version available,
the app prompts me to update. However, even when I click on the "Restart to Update"
option in the menu bar, the CLI version doesn't get updated.

Additionally, when I manually reinstall Ollama by downloading the latest
version from the server, the CLI version still remains outdated (0.1.22),
despite the GUI version being updated to 0.2.1 and I clicked on Install CLI.

I think when you update thourgh the UI, it only updates the UI not the CLI. Please download the latest version of the CLI and install it. This should update the CLI.
https://ollama.com/

Make sure the new version is added to your environment:

> ollama --version
ollama version is 0.2.1

(Assuming you're using Mac or Linux) if still you see the old version, make sure the new version is in your path:

$ which ollama
/usr/local/bin/ollama

Thank you I updated CLI with

 brew upgrade ollama

But I created an Issue because when I download Ollama.app, launch it and click on Install CLI , it should update the version that is installed on my Mac. If not Ollama should support "ollama update" command, to update both the app and the CLI.

/clear works now.
