Just another naive locker for *nix

## Why this

I was just reading a book and then I found out that we can change the permissions of a directory to none for all the users and that basically doesn't let any program except rm access the directory.

Hence, I created a small, naive script that just adds the ability to change those permissions with a password, which means that the dir can be __locked__ using the password.

## Dependencies

Are you kidding me? It's written in Shell, no dependencies, enjoy.

## Installation

- Clone the repo and enter the dir

   ```git clone https://github.com/deepjyoti30/locker && cd locker```

- Install using make

   ```make install```

## Usage

```console

Usage: locker OPERATION DIR [--help]

Positional arguments:

  OPERATION: Either of [lock] or [unlock] can be passed.

  DIR: Directory to operate on.

Optional arguments:

  --help: Show this message and exit

```
