⚠️ This project is still experimental. Use it at your own risk.

This application can help you and your team to manage your LFS file locks, on both Windows and Linux. It is written in Python with PyQt5 and built using PyInstaller, so you do not need Python to be installed on your system.

The app was specifically made for projects based on Unreal Engine 4/5 in combination with the amazing Git LFS plugin by ProjectBorealis (forked from SRomBauts). However, it can be used for any other LFS-initialized repository.

Pull requests are very welcome.

• Add and remove locks
• Filter and search locks
• Easily copy and paste locks from other users
• Force unlocking for admin users
• Support for custom Git-LFS executables (e.g. adjusted for multi-threading)
• Cross-platform (Windows and Linux)
• Dark mode 😎

1. Make sure you have Git and Git LFS installed
2. Download the latest release and ship it with your project
3. Ensure that settings.ini is in the same directory as the executable
4. Configure settings.ini (at the very least, you need to modify projectRootDirectory)

Run pyinstaller LfsLockManager.spec to create your executable. By default, it will be placed in ./dist. Copy an updated version of settings.ini to ./dist.

There is a GitHub action for downloading the latest release of this repository automatically. The action creates a PR which you can then merge yourself after verifying the changes. Feel free to optimize it for your own workflow. You can find it here.

• Investigate overhead for (un)locking operations
• Add user setting for using '/' or '\' when generating commands (only relevant for custom git-lfs executables)
• Bug: Selection sometimes persists after certain actions
• Bug: After force unlocking another user's locks, the app switches to own locks again
• Bug: The current selection gets wiped when filtering using a string that does not match anything in the file tree
