NAME

       git-annex-unlock - unlock files for modification

SYNOPSIS

       git annex unlock [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Normally,  the  content  of  annexed  files is protected from being changed.  Unlocking an
       annexed file allows it to be modified. This replaces the symlink for each  specified  file
       with  a  copy  of  the  file's  content.  You can then modify it and git annex add (or git
       commit) to inject it back into the annex.

OPTIONS

       file matching options

              The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify files to unlock.
