Lock the specified annexed files, to prevent them from being modified.
When no files are specified, all annexed files in the current directory are
locked.
Locking a file changes how it is stored in the git repository (from a
pointer file to a symlink), so this command will make a change that you
can commit.

# OPTIONS
* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to lock.
unlock, lock: Support --json.

* `--json`
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
add --json-error-messages (not yet implemented) Added --json-error-messages option, which includes error messages in the json output, rather than outputting them to stderr. The actual rediretion of errors is not implemented yet, this is only the docs and option plumbing. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.

* `--json-error-messages`
better doc for --json-error-messages Word so warnings can be included, not only errors.
2018-02-19 19:33:59 +00:00
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
the json instead.

split out common options to its own page and mention it on each subcommand page Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options. This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly to how the matching options are handled. This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap on Patreon.

* Also the [[git-annex-common-options]](1) can be used.

# SEE ALSO
[[git-annex]](1)
expand manpages cross-references significantly i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well.
