clink VS gsudo

It would allow portable graphics applications on the terminal, e.g. this C64-emulator-in-Docker only renders ASCII characters, but could be extended with sixels to render graphics (I actually tinkered with this, but didn't get far because most terminals have either none or too slow sixels support):

If you don't want to learn the powershell commands then clink can enhance the existing cmd shell. It provides a lot of features i was used from bash/zsh: completion, history across sessions, colors, fzf integration and so on. Can be extended with lua.

Windows Terminal is great and an enormous improvement over conhost. That said, cmd itself isn't any better unless you extend it with something like Oh My Posh and clink. Add GNU CoreUtils to your path if (like me) your muscle memory is to use ls and rm over dir and del.

Clink (https://github.com/chrisant996/clink) combines the native Windows shell cmd.exe with the powerful command line editing features of the GNU Readline library, which provides rich completion, history, and line-editing capabilities. Readline is best known for its use in the Unix shell Bash, the standard shell for Mac OS X and many Linux distributions.

clink injected into cmd.exe + msys for the utilities, all hosted in OpenConsole

Download the zip file for portable clink from the clink site We will only use clink in the custom Windows Terminal profile by manually extracting the portable clink to the Program Files folder. If you want to install clink to the normal CMD also, you can use the installer and omit the following steps until step 3.0

It has been around for some time however I just found it. It is called Clink . Anyone interested in a video tutorial

There's already a similar tool that does sudo on Windows: https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo

Well, sudo for Windows has been a thing for, like, a few years now?... https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo

Not sure if this is the same thing, but this definitely should have shipped with the very first implementation of "oh, sure, you're an Administrator, but not really, since we're ignoring that bit" a.k.a. User Account Control.

That would have saved about a metric ton of misguided "here's how to turn off UAC" tutorials, but, ehm, yeah, anything to inject some life into the moribund Windows Insiders Program (the one where https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/ proudly headlines "What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023"), right?

Running powercfg /batteryreport in an command prompt with Admin privilege (or through gsudo) and opening battery-report.html in the directory where you ran it.

gsudo is your friend here.

Or, if you prefer: Gerardog's gsudo on Github.

Sudo works perfectly fine on Windows as well using gsudo.

I wish gsudo was integrated, but otherwise, I've been very happy with Windows Terminal. Glad to see it finally in.
