How do not lock/sleep MacBook when you close the laptop lid?

Question

I would like the MacBook not to sleep and or lock when closing the laptop lid. I would like to lock and sleep it only manually. Any ideas on how to do it?

To enable laptop sleeping with closed lid:

sudo pmset -b sleep 0; sudo pmset -b disablesleep 1

To re-enable laptop sleeping:

sudo pmset -b sleep 5; sudo pmset -b disablesleep 0
