Is there a command to check if Git Bash is open in admin mode?

Question

Let's say you open the Git Bash console and have been using it for a while, but you forgot if you opened it as Administrator or not.

Is there a way to test this in the current console without closing and opening it again?

You can try linux command like:

whoami

This will return the name of your system

or windows command:

ECHO %USERNAME%

Yes, you can check the current username using the following command:

git config user.name

This will return the username and you can find out if he is an Administrator.
