git-lfs-track(1) - View or add Git LFS paths to Git attributes
==============================================================
## SYNOPSIS
`git lfs track` [options] [<pattern>...]
## DESCRIPTION
Start tracking the given patterns(s) through Git LFS. The <pattern> argument
is written to .gitattributes. If no paths are provided, simply list the
currently-tracked paths.
The [gitattributes documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes) states
that patterns use the [gitignore pattern rules](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore)
to match paths.
## OPTIONS
* `--verbose` `-v`:
If enabled, have `git lfs track` log files which it will touch. Disabled by
default.
* `--dry-run` `-d`:
If enabled, have `git lfs track` log all actions it would normally take
(adding entries to .gitattributes, touching files on disk, etc) without
performing any mutative operations to the disk.
`git lfs track --dry-run [files]` also implicitly mocks the behavior of
passing the `--verbose`, and will log in greater detail what it is doing.
Disabled by default.
* `--lockable` `-l`
Make the paths 'lockable', meaning they should be locked to edit them, and
will be made read-only in the working copy when not locked.
* `--not-lockable`
Remove the lockable flag from the paths so they are no longer read-only unless
locked.
## EXAMPLES
* List the patterns that Git LFS is currently tracking:
`git lfs track`
* Configure Git LFS to track GIF files:
`git lfs track '*.gif'`
* Configure Git LFS to track PSD files and make them read-only unless locked:
`git lfs track --lockable '*.psd'`
