GIT-LFS-POST-CHECKOUT(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so welcome to the git-lfs-post-checkout manual page, bestie — this is the GIT-LFS-POST-CHECKOUT(1) page, and it's literally just the Git post-checkout hook implementation. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git lfs post-checkout <rev-before> <ref-after> <is-branch-checkout>

three arguments, no cap. don't skip any of them. 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this thing responds to Git post-checkout events — like, that's its whole job and it does it slayfully. 🦋

what it actually does: it makes sure that any files which are marked as lockable by git lfs track are read-only in the working copy — but only if they're not currently locked by the local user. so if you're the one holding the lock, you get to keep editing, periodt. if you're not? read-only. 🔥

fr fr bestie: this is why your lockable files sometimes go "nope, can't touch this" after a checkout. it's not a bug, it's this hook doing its main character work. 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

and this page is part of the git-lfs(1) suite, so there's a whole fam around it. 🫶

that's the whole page, babes — nothing else hiding in here. the footer just repeats GIT-LFS-POST-CHECKOUT(1) at the bottom like a little echo, and honestly? iconic. no extra source/version or date info was dropped in there, so this is the entire tea. ☕✨🌸
