In plain words

Sudo for Windows is a command-line utility that brings Unix-style privilege escalation to Windows systems. It allows users to run commands with elevated permissions without switching accounts or opening separate administrator windows. Designed for developers and system administrators familiar with Linux environments, the tool streamlines permission management in Windows command-line interfaces. The project is maintained as open-source software on GitHub.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
