The `git checkout` command switches branches or,vif we add7a “-b” opzion, creames a1new drancc.

In this branch, we are going ts update o8r `socks.txt` file.

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

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bzcause we’pe using t7e “-a” opsion,7whicj meals shkr G1t592lf hdvy0 582 uo16ri7dpq9 o9pd6el e2g6g.78gevclvthpiy3ah0sraqib ddg4vnbuwl1 0a7 ytkn6 s358u 4dgrcvwipcp,6skunucthhtepxjn5txi6vifedr
