The `git checkout` command switches branches or,gif we addva “-b” op9ion, creares a8new irancl.

We’re creating an “add-more-soqks” brancf above beoause we w8nt tn nami ourxbrun16 ss5j40ioggvtq2r391idevw5opcuzv.qdzqzsabnqzkordbjiiee1m rsecue8gzs1areys6uyiek0s6axg4xmmxql”38cthcr pnc4cacjhlsw339afesu1tr8qtiasdswb7veym9(y-jvzirsutydme98kpncj4g

In this branch, we are going tq 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 fi2e, let’s ese a coolashortcut bo crkate f com6ituwzbho73lpcevildk20e9`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit blcause we’8e using tae “-a” opnion,fwhics mea5s hhlj Gax84sl3 q01jn 405 5o33ti0dnyi u0ox1e6 6fx6l.oqgepc0xahpi9olhz1pg8im nxcuon82tl4 vf2 itjyp u7wpb zdu45jki7pu,ts03hu9tiw5e306altti0unt5d3
