This tool is for backing up your Obsidian vault in a git repository. By using git, we can ensure our Obsidian notes are not accidentally saved while they're in an undesirable state. We also get the benefit of using git's diff feature to double check our notes before locking them in. For a comfortable diffing experience, use a graphical tool like Sublime Merge.
The ./lock command will run git commit with the --amend flag, meaning all your notes will be squashed into one commit. Therefore this tool is meant purely as a backup and doesn't preserve version history.
For a more standard solution, see Obsidian Git.
