From the documentation after doing,
`C-h v truncate-lines <RET>'

-------------------------------------------------------------
truncate-lines is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is t

  Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.
  This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
  satisfies the predicate `booleanp'.

Documentation:
*Non-nil means do not display continuation lines.
Instead, give each line of text just one screen line.

Note that this is overridden by the variable
`truncate-partial-width-windows' if that variable is non-nil
and this buffer is not full-frame width.

You can customize this variable.
