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.
