Tired of being prompted for a password on sudo? Same!

The preferred way to grant individual (or group) permissions would be to add files under /etc/sudoers.d

This separates local changes from the default policy and saves time in case the distribution sudoers file changes.

To make the currently logged-in user a sudoer and  sudo not prompt them for a password, use

echo "$USER ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/$USER

this will create a file called /etc/sudoers.d/$USER (where $USER is the username of the user that you were logged in as when you ran that command), making it clear which users are granted permission.

If you want to do that for a different user, just replace both instances of $USER with some other username in the above command.

echo "otheruser ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/otheruser

Similarly, one file can be used to manage multiple directives:

echo "username ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers.d/local

See /etc/sudoers.d/README and man sudoers for more information.
