.SH "NAME"
git\-lfs\-lock \- Set a file as "locked" on the Git LFS server
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\f(CRgit lfs lock\fP [options] <path>
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
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 \f(CRlfs.<url>.locksverify\fP
config key in git\-lfs\-config(5) for details.

set.
