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.

       -j, --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.
