description: "Clear a stuck deploy lock."

ShipNode holds a lock file at `<deployPath>/.shipnode/deploy.lock` during a deploy. If a deploy is killed (network drop, Ctrl-C at the wrong moment), the lock can linger and block the next deploy.

```bash
npx shipnode unlock
```

Only run this after confirming no deploy is actually in progress.
