How to hide previous commands/history in terminal and start like the beginning of the tab?

Question

There should be a command on terminal that hides the history belongs a specific tab and lets you start from the beginning of the tab like it is new, but when you scroll up with a mouse you can see your history. I can't remember and find it online. I hope someone can tell it.
