Clear from IRB

How can I clear my screen from within IRB, I'm not sure if this has been explicitly mentioned in a previous video but Jason doesn't seem to be using the clear command to remove the text. Not a necessity just trying to keep things more organized.

Thank you for your time!

Command + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows) should work for you.
