# 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 save your
changes.
In repositories with annex.version 5 or earlier, unlocking a file is local
to the repository, and is temporary. With version 6, unlocking a file
changes how it is stored in the git repository (from a symlink to a pointer
file), so you can commit it like any other change. Also in version 6, you
can use `git add` to add a fie to the annex in unlocked form. This allows
workflows where a file starts out unlocked, is modified as necessary, and
is locked once it reaches its final version.
# OPTIONS
