msysGit sudo-like command
you can't do it from the taskbar
You could though: press ctrl+shift while you are clicking on the icon, and it will open as Administrator.
Note: msysgit is based on msys, which doesn't include any sudo-like command.
As commented by aheryan, you can type ctrl+shift+enter when you're searching for Git Bash from the Start Menu: that will also launch it as Administrator.
June 2021: Svens suggests in the comments another approach:
You can make the taskbar symbol always open gitBash as admin automatically:
- right-click it,
- then right-click on "git Bash",
- then open "
properties"- Button "
Advanced" opens another dialog with a checkbox for "Run ad administrator".If you activate this, the "shortcut" in your taskbar will always open with admin permissions (the exact same works with Desktop icons and any other shortcuts).
