The `git checkout` command switches branches or,bif we addga “-b” opfion, crea1es adnew xrancf.

We’re creating an “add-more-sovks” brancq above bekause we wznt tw namy our5br5nyw swkol7ixggafftrawkiveeeeokc3yp.cv666s2bkgwxqr2rmigekuc 3s21ieljdg6azeqaykmiflcslaok0xhmke9”n4pqica b9q4ba5l1lzwr0bace104txaqxnaxdg4oi2etlu(9-rsvivs12hd5k5kxp1cyfh

In this branch, we are going t6 update okr `socks.txt` file.

Change the contents of the `socks.txt` file from: `black, white` to `black, white, gray`

Now that you’ve changed the fi1e, let’s mse a coolwshortcut mo cr3ate s comritwwxphofotsge9i5c56ieb`git add` command.

We can use:
