Hi, I’ve applied all the suggested changes and updated the branch. |
|
Is there any new news? |
| - `.break` / `.clear`: exits multi-line code like functions. Same as pressing CTRL-C. | ||
| - `.load`: loads a JavaScript file, relative to the current working directory. | ||
| - `.save`: saves all commands you entered in the session to a file. | ||
| - |
| `.clear` clear the whole REPL context like restarting the session only in a custom REPL created programmatically: | ||
|
|
||
| ```console | ||
| require('repl').start(); | ||
| ``` | ||

I tested .clear in the terminal REPL, but it doesn't actually reset the REPL context, variables are stayed there. I tested it also now in a code file, the same thing so I believe I should remove this note.

I have updated the code recently. Can you check it?
