gsudo is a sudo equivalent for Windows, with a similar user-experience as the original Unix/Linux sudo. Allows you to run a command (or re-launch your current shell) with elevated permissions, in the current console window or a new one.
gsudo is available through winget as package ID gerardog.gsudo, with version 2.6.1. Use the install command above to set it up on Windows without downloading a separate installer manually.
