This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/daggerhart/lock-plugins/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

A simple WordPress plugin that allows developers to prevent other plugins from updating.

Chances are you'd want to put this plugin to be a Must Use Plugin, to prevent it from being disabled.

Then in another plugin, use the following filter to add your list of plugins that should not look for updates.

add_filter('lock_plugins-locked_plugins', function($plugins){
  $plugins[] = 'akismet/akismet.php';

  return $plugins;
});
