Lazy vim way I do it:

ggVG"wY:q! followed by sudo !! then VG"wp:x

Grab entire file and stuff it in register W

Exit file

Reopen sudo

Select all and replace with register W them write

Now I understand how the Adeptus Mechanicus feel when they perform a ritual power-on.

It's funny how years of use make that so intuitive but spelled out it's a garbled mess

Lazier way:

:w !sudo tee %

Yeah learning about tee from this thread honestly.

It's been interesting realizing I had such a useful tool at my disposal but never knew

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
