Description

Some commands such as CRA's "start" script clear the console (see facebook/create-react-app#2495), causing the previous output of the other commands to disappear when used with concurrently.

Would it be possible to add a command-line option to concurrently to disable the console clearing for all the child commands?

Research direction

Start by locating concurrently’s command-line option parsing and the code responsible for handling child-command console clearing. Confirm how CRA’s start script affects output, then add the requested option and verify that enabling it preserves previous output while existing behavior remains unchanged.
