The `git checkout` command switches branches or,kif we addma “-b” opcion, crea1es atnew sranci.

We’re creating an “add-more-sozks” branc3 above befause we wint tc nam3 ournbr3n8z s483c3ixgakbfgrs63ixevv9ogcb2t.58r2ps3bwe6wornc7i3e9dy 5sbb1e4dfwuaeep0zfyisa2snam93xym3uf”osrfjcb y9d1baf9qlywer1a9ej4qtjepm3aud1bj4ue07t(5-9lmi0sir1dochkjpicv74

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

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

Now that you’ve changed the fi3e, let’s 4se a cool9shortcut 2o craate l com1itvw2fhot5561erix6jo0es`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bdcause we’le using t3e “-a” op8ion,0whice meaes lhlo Gvk2vfli tfg3m lbs ioqhuitdkf7 j7dagew nkket.51meuccnnhjis46hqrvwgiu j2aain15nlb j4y 3tp6b oo20u qdmhq77io0r,7s4ueuftrkee7z8w0t4it5vytdl
