Neat sudo-like elevation tool for Windows, allowing to elevate commands or the current shell as an administrator, SYSTEM, or even as TrustedInstaller. The Credentials Cache will allow you to elevate as many times with only a single UAC prompt (it might represent a security risk, though - it's disabled by default). Can be used in scripts - it will allow you to self-elevate when necessary. More info in gsudo's documentation.

What is gsudo?

gsudo is a sudo equivalent for Windows, with a similar user-experience as the original *nix sudo.

It allows to run commands with elevated permissions, or to elevate the current shell, in the current console window or a new one. gsudo detects your current shell and elevates your command as native shell commands. (Supports CMD, PowerShell, WSL, git-bash, MinGW, Cygwin, Yori, Take Command, BusyBox & NuShell.)

Just prepend gsudo (or the sudo alias) to your command and it will run elevated. One UAC popup will appear each time. You can see less popups if you enable gsudo cache.

It is designed so it is easy to install, easy to use, and feels familiar with other popular tools.
