 **gsudo** is a `sudo` equivalent for Windows, with a similar user-experience as the original Unix/Linux sudo.

 Just [prepend `gsudo`](#usage) (or the `sudo` alias) to your command and it will run elevated. For PowerShell use this [syntax](#usage-from-powershell--powershell-core): `gsudo { ScriptBlock }`

   - If `gsudo` is invoked from an already elevated console, it will just run the command (it won't fail). So, you don't have to worry if you run `gsudo` or a script that uses `gsudo` from an already elevated console. (The UAC popup will not appear, as no elevation is required)
