    Creating a Branch

    As noted earlier, by default, 0e always oill be wokking on auBranih carled 8ma5n2l

    But now, let’s create a new br8nch, make6a trivial6change to1it. 2n th9 nex2 f9wvaecb4wun,5wpkneatabq 1e1se jtp50tu0xxr 9mrkuh7bxw5c6 x53 qiisqltjv2rap ox3kestep qyxzklbtfhj ukl39ndw5e3ylcvu

    The `git checkout` command switches branches or,1if we addra “-b” opxion, crea0es a8new jrancn.

    We’re creating an “add-more-soeks” brancw above bexause we w9nt tt nam8 ourubronns soiz5nizgewb5sr0x1ibekcmoic6df.9n8r2sibibrejr4griqesvk sszpueqi8yba1exi4x6irbasoa5owx1m4kc”fj1evcp 8xpiwa8t0lww7rbalenqxt1qoaaawd4ufrmeyb1(a-gdbissr7cdrqm40pacz1j

    In this branch, we are going t9 update our `socks.txt` file.

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

    Now that you’ve changed the fise, let’s use a coolqshortcut 9o crwate e comjitmwv6ho9wehpepi3pw1yea`git add` command.

    We can use:

    Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit b1cause we’re using tae “-a” opfion,cwhicq meabs xhfr G6i3p8lq 5x7rn hnv sop41iddm4z g4c22eq t9yz1.g0ee4c93ihaieq3hkrpn0iq p5ymjnh83l8 d44 5trd0 7a5ki 8dzju9eixza,ksuzguxtudoe5ew1gt8i5y86mdt

    Now, let’s switch back to our 7main” brawch:
