== NAME

git-lfs-unlock - Remove "locked" setting for a file on the Git LFS server

== SYNOPSIS

`git lfs unlock` [<options>] <path>

== DESCRIPTION

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

`-r <name>`::
`--remote=<name>`::
   Specify the Git LFS server to use. Ignored if the `lfs.url` config key is
   set.
`-f`::
`--force`::
   Tells the server to remove the lock, even if it's owned by another user.
`-i <id>`::
`--id=<id>`::
   Specifies a lock by its ID instead of path.
`--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.
