How to show the next line after insert a command on linux terminal?

Sometimes when you insert a command on the linux terminal the output it's too big, so yo have to scroll till the beginning. I want to know if there is a way to avoid that scrolling and going to the first line of the output after we insert the command.

Are you looking for more or less commands? Usage:

$ less a-big-plain-text-file.txt
$ ### same syntax for `more` (see respective man's)

Then you are positioned at the beginning of the file, you can scroll it or even search for the line number (type a number and press enter), etc,etc.

Play with head and tail too.

pipe the output of your cmd to a file and then open the file to view its first line ls -lrt > abcd.txt
