# git-lfs-post-commit(1)

Git post-commit hook implementation

## NAME

git-lfs-post-commit - Git post-commit hook implementation

## SYNOPSIS

```
git lfs post-commit
```

## DESCRIPTION

Responds to Git post-commit events. It makes sure that any files which are marked as lockable by `git lfs track` are read-only in the working copy, if not currently locked by the local user.

Where the `git lfs post-merge` command, which has a similar purpose, must examine all files in the working copy, `git lfs post-commit` can limit itself checking only those files which have changed in `HEAD`. It primarily handles newly added lockable files which have not yet been made read-only.
