How can I scroll up more (increase the scroll buffer) in iTerm2?

Solution 1:

There is an option “unlimited scrollback buffer” which you can find under Preferences > Profiles > Terminal or you can just pump up number of lines that you want to have in history in the same place.

Solution 2:

Solution: In order to increase your buffer history on iterm bash terminal you've got two options:

Go to iterm -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Terminal Tab -> Scrollback Buffer (section)

Option 1. select the checkbox Unlimited scrollback

Option 2. type the selected Scrollback lines numbers you'd like your terminal buffer to cache (See image below)

Solution 3:

Tree Step:

1. cmd + ,
2. Profiles Tab
3. Select "Terminal" and mark the "Unlimited scrollback"

now restart your terminal and BOOM
