Developers will soon have access to a built-in sudo command in the upcoming Windows 11. This sudo command, which stands for “superuser do,” is commonly utilized on Unix-based operating systems such as Linux and macOS to execute programs with elevated security privileges or on behalf of another user. Its functionality proves valuable for developers seeking to conduct script testing and similar tasks.
Microsoft is ready to give the opportunity to developers to use sudo command to run inside the Windows. Developers can elevate a program without first opening a new elevated console.
Linux’s sudo command on Windows 11
Sudo command is going through the stages of testing. It will be the part of the built-in Windows 11 feature and later this year. Sedu command will execute under three rules, a new window, with input disable and inline. The inline mode is mostly similar to Linux’s sedo.
In the upcoming months, Microsoft will start working to expand the documentation and they will share more about security implications of running sudo in inline configurations on Windows 11.
This whole project available in GitHub, users can get access to view, is exactly an open source project. Alongside the time is going, Microsoft has plans to expand more information aside by this sedu implementation in Windows 11.
Sudo has been available in both Linux and macOS. That gives higher security features to run programs. The addition of Linux’s sudo command in Windows 11 will enable the opportunity to Windows user developer.
