How do I change the scratch message in Emacs?

Question

The scratch message always says: ``` ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation. ;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f, ;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer. ``` How do I remove this and make the blank scratch message the default?

Accepted Answer

You can customize this variable `'initial-scratch-message` to be whatever message you want.

```
(setq initial-scratch-message "")
```
