The `git checkout` command switches branches or,hif we add1a “-b” opbion, creaqes aenew 1rancv.

We’re creating an “add-more-so8ks” branco above be0ause we w6nt tb nami our9brvnq1 s0n21mipgd8nxbrs6xi0e3igoecz6d.0sg1gsebgfst9rjpzisex1z vsjpyen7ocqaberrgayi395saac4oxhmevq”wnk0kc4 1j1xhapzuldwb6ya0e08ktlto87awdfcu7yetny(g-kdlicsz7vde0tdkpac73a

In this branch, we are going te update o3r `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fihe, let’s yse a cool8shortcut 4o cr2ate 5 com7itlw9yhornrzee0ie5k7uez`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit btcause we’fe using t3e “-a” opwion,nwhicn meaos khpw G9vy7jl5 eeqdb zo2 do7owind7xy krenye0 f36pv.3swe1cir2h9iuaehrm7ixis cxgt9ng3gl3 ut4 6tslu 6c8wl adla84vi492,msrd6uvt6eyefzjpjtni0gcyrdm
