NAME

       git-lfs-lock - Set a file as "locked" on the Git LFS server

SYNOPSIS

       git lfs lock #OPTIONS path

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  the given file path as "locked" against the Git LFS server, with the intention of blocking attempts
       by other users to update the given path. Locking a file requires the file to exist in the working copy.

       Once locked, LFS will verify that Git pushes  do  not  modify  files  locked  by  other  users.  See  the
       description of the lfs.<url>.locksverify config key in git-lfs-config(5) for details.

OPTIONS

       -r name --remote=name
              Specify the Git LFS server to use. Ignored if the lfs.url config key is set.

       --json Writes  lock info as JSON to STDOUT if the command exits successfully. Intended for interoperation
              with external tools. If the command returns with a non-zero exit code, plain text messages will be
              sent to STDERR.
