# sudo
|
|
|
|
Easily prefix your current or previous commands with `sudo` by pressing <kbd>esc</kbd> twice
|
|
|
|
## Enabling the plugin
|
|
|
|
1. Open your `.zshrc` file and add `sudo` in the plugins section:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
plugins=(
|
|
# all your enabled plugins
|
|
sudo
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Restart your shell or restart your Terminal session:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ exec zsh
|
|
$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage examples
|
|
|
|
### Current typed commands
|
|
|
|
Say you have typed a long command and forgot to add `sudo` in front:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ apt-get install build-essential
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By pressing the <kbd>esc</kbd> key twice, you will have the same command with `sudo` prefixed without typing:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Previous executed commands
|
|
|
|
Say you want to delete a system file and denied:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ rm some-system-file.txt
|
|
-su: some-system-file.txt: Permission denied
|
|
$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By pressing the <kbd>esc</kbd> key twice, you will have the same command with `sudo` prefixed without typing:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ rm some-system-file.txt
|
|
-su: some-system-file.txt: Permission denied
|
|
$ sudo rm some-system-file.txt
|
|
Password:
