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.
