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.
