Hi Adrian,

you are using a terminal, right?
So you can hit Ctrl + L (at least on Linux, I have no experience with 
Mac) a couple of times, then press arrow up and execute the command 
again. There will be a gap between the last and the previous terminal 
output.

Otherwise you can use an advanced editor, such as Frescobaldi, which 
automatically cleans the console messages.
