Show HN: UAC-Less Sudo for Windows

https://github.com/parkovski/wsudo

I started this project around 8 years ago out of frustration with the lack of a proper sudo command for Windows, and then abandoned it for a while. I was excited to see Microsoft create an official one, but it seems to be abandoned, so I picked this project back up. Once installed, this will never show a UAC prompt, which is different from every other sudo for Windows I've seen.

I understand there are arguments that this raises security concerns, however, if that's the case, then so does the Linux/Unix sudo, and people use that business all the time.

I'm mainly working on this just because I'm a major terminal nerd and I want this to exist for my own use. Hope someone else finds it useful as well.
