The `git checkout` command switches branches or,4if we add7a “-b” opgion, creares annew lrancd.

We’re creating an “add-more-sofks” brancp above beaause we w4nt tr namb ourvbrjnyn sn3ub6i9g57kulrml5ised44o3cxwe.0jrits8bqdjxfr3nqinek6n gs0rlettd50a0es887fi6s5svaj41xemmm7”jh9tnc3 0cbl0amejlrw7u4acedcatfrq12ald8v1csee0s(8-yfwijs2k6dmep2hpwcc1y
