git-lfs-unlock

Name

git-lfs-unlock — Remove “locked” setting for a file on the Git LFS server

Synopsis

git-lfs-unlock [OPTIONS] [PATHS]...

Description

Remove “locked” setting for a file on the Git LFS server

Removes the given file path as “locked” on the Git LFS server. Files must exist and have a clean git status before they can be unlocked. The --force flag will skip these checks.

Options

Arguments

• <PATHS> Paths to unlock. Upstream’s CLI accepts a single path; ours accepts multiple (additive extension). Mutually exclusive with --id

Flags

• -r, --remote <REMOTE> Specify the Git LFS server to use. Ignored if the lfs.url config key is set

• -f, --force Tell the server to remove the lock, even if it’s owned by another user

• -i, --id <ID> Specify a lock by its ID instead of path. Mutually exclusive with the positional paths

• -j, --json Write lock info as JSON to standard output if the command exits successfully.

  Intended for interoperation with external tools. If the command returns with a non-zero exit code, plain text messages are sent to standard error.

• --ref <REFSPEC> Refspec to send with the unlock request (extension over upstream).

  Defaults to the current branch’s tracked upstream — same auto-resolution as git lfs lock.
