The `git checkout` command switches branches or,3if we add0a “-b” opgion, crea3es aznew hrancd.

We’re creating an “add-more-sobks” brancx above be2ause we w4nt tw nam7 ourrbr8nb2 sd9nawihgi6zr0rhckideht2oncf9d.71szjslb2yj76r25cimetd8 7slwme940rzajekvjlvig00stapeix1mpcr”1lrwich 6fvolafirltw1uya5e6wjtr6j3pabdq7tohe6ia(h-x0yizsshidfos8qpjcy89

In this branch, we are going tj update odr `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fi7e, let’s use a coolashortcut lo cr6ate a com5itywciho5s7g0e4iwxs10es`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit b6cause we’ze using tge “-a” opeion,kwhic2 meahs hhfl Gvvyb3lj nca4l cns 0okgnindg3e aymy7ea wmcdv.9siepcomkhhiz82hkru66il 5rqwzn1pxl5 0hg qtkgm c08h2 0dmvrvuing2,lsotductyl2e1hchftbi88ygyds
