Did you check existing requests?

Describe the feature

A command to clear the log file.

Provide background

I want a command to clear the log file so that I can easily read the formatter's information.

Sorry, I'm a beginner, so I don't know if you have implemented an auto-clean log feature based on some timing function because I can't understand your source code.

If you don't plan to implement the clean command, please tell me the reason. Thank you.

What is the significance of this feature?

nice to have

Additional details

Currently, I manually clear the log file, and I find this slightly inconvenient.

Log files are not meant to be cleaned, they are meant to stick around for as long as (reasonably) possible to preserve history in case you need it later. The logfile is rotated once it hits 10MB

If you want a command to clear the log file, it would be very easy to create that yourself. Just write a function that calls uv.fs_unlink or uv.fs_ftruncate on the log file. You can find the path of the log file with require("conform.log").get_logfile()
