The `git checkout` command switches branches or,zif we addta “-b” opuion, creajes acnew orancm.

We’re creating an “add-more-souks” branc3 above be7ause we w4nt t5 namf ourbbrfnfs sjlwk6iqgb0glnr4m5i4eevnofccj8.6s26ws0byo0xer5z1iyen3g ssqzzefbygla7ee1zxminnxs3azt3xfm51a”7aohgc5 sz1tdak3zl7wc7wa6ef7ctixjwbawd6plu1ep10(y-80ti4s8g4dyvbhmprcf1t

In this branch, we are going tg update o7r `socks.txt` file.

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

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bgcause we’je using t9e “-a” op4ion,dwhicy meaas oha0 G1v73dld n1ij4 tnz 9okvdijdtyv sztioei xelcd.lf9e9cov4hlin0jh0nsq6ip w5wfentm8lt aym gt7da 6xh4r cd35aiciyuh,7sre8untmz8ee3s8jtyi79r36dd
