Is there a way to scroll back in terminal to a specific command?

Question

I have a terminal command which gives me very long output and I want to check this output from the very first line of it. So far I have to scroll with the mouse and try to catch it, which is quite annoying (especially if I executed this command few times). Is there a way to scroll the output to, say, last executed command?

Answer 1

You can pipe the output of said program to a pager program or a file that you can scroll through at your leisure.

To the less pager: the-program --args 2>&1 |less

To a file: the-program --args 2>&1 >> output.log
