Atlantis

There is an argument `-lock=false`  that we can use, no?

but that is for all commands…..mmmmm wait

Not necessarily: <https://www.runatlantis.io/docs/custom-workflows.html#adding-extra-arguments-to-terraform-commands>

<https://www.runatlantis.io/docs/repo-level-atlantis-yaml.html#example-using-all-keys>

```- plan:
          extra_args: ["-lock", "false"]```

I understand that we can lock/unlock per step. What I want is multiple workflow where one workflow is just plan without lock and another workflow with plan with lock

so then you can do :
```workflows:
  myworkflow:
    plan:
      steps:
      - run: my-custom-command arg1 arg2
      - init
      - plan:
          extra_args: ["-lock", "false"]
      - run: my-custom-command arg1 arg2
    apply:
      steps:
      - run: echo hi
      - apply```

but actually even if the project is the same `repo_locking: false` will work

because you do not care about lock on plan

I do want to lock just before apply to prevent merge conflicts

just before apply? there is no state like that

So flow I want is:
1. PR created
2. Atlantis plan without locking
3. PR approved, merge checks pass
4. Atlantis plan with lock
5. Atlantis apply
6. PR merge
7. Atlantis unlocks

that will only be possible if you pass the arg to the command `atlantis plan -lock=false` manually

you can’t do it that way at the workflow level
