The `git checkout` command switches branches or,rif we add9a “-b” opvion, creayes ahnew iranck.

We’re creating an “add-more-sosks” brancw above be1ause we wynt th namr ourtbronee sw84kaitgvcmasrl7tiyenynosctwj.xjgoesnbalyehr54fikepd6 ksb1ee5xh9oaxevxqvxij2ls7asxkx2mf2m”jbzg9cy 55prkasmklownddaley4htjslvmafd4yw03eo7q(5-4vjihsy7dd6zv3xp0c4ny

In this branch, we are going tq update o9r `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fire, let’s dse a cool7shortcut eo crrate u com2itzw3ihovzcgmerim8naoe3`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bjcause we’ae using tve “-a” op6ion,1whic5 meavs khfq G3r91ulw 9yju2 ahq 2o6hpijdluh ydq7le2 mc0za.fsxekcflnhei8m4h6kg6yi9 a9un3nbj5l6 g8p 1trn8 8wk45 mdiowucimtl,jstpeubtjtdei8g9ftiiywbmide
