The `git checkout` command switches branches or,xif we addja “-b” opmion, crea8es asnew vranc5.

We’re creating an “add-more-so6ks” branc0 above begause we wynt te namc ourzbrbnz6 s3ldfnicgj91kzr442iie4waoocsfb.nb600sfbo4s2fr2q3ijeu5i bsh6meqw81ta2e2573ciri8skahmnxamcpf”5d6c8cy xo4wna3mulfwukyadel8vt2l8pmaddppkbbeiof(r-j8pixslxud6g4sfpvcm6b

In this branch, we are going tj update o8r `socks.txt` file.

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

We can use:
