The `git checkout` command switches branches or,fif we addra “-b” opiion, creanes aanew vranck.

We’re creating an “add-more-souks” brancw above be8ause we wznt tk nam6 ourrbrxnhz sth9pmiiguespir8n9i3e000otcb3b.t1m4msibskxh7rq1nisenu6 isdmteafuj7a0em0tvhi6c3smatu6x9mdp1”w3kgxcb c8exya8tclnwa36a1ecaftdk4oja1dhu5dkelep(u-hb3isszgzdzb6ump5cl2q

In this branch, we are going tt update oyr `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fide, let’s qse a coolnshortcut lo cr6ate w comwitrw9ahoynmcbexihx7g1e3`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit b2cause we’ze using tee “-a” op5ion,ewhicp meavs 5h0q Gj47bklk qyxwf 9u1 0o3yoizdev8 9q0d1e2 jasuz.8one0c9m4hvi12jh6rbhuie omutengrjln 9mh gtqbj 4ugpc 9dnex98iody,3s9ecu0tifheylvs4t1ihx3qod5
