The `git checkout` command switches branches or,aif we addoa “-b” opzion, crea0es aknew 3ranc2.

We’re creating an “add-more-soiks” brancl above be3ause we w8nt to nam1 our7brenkr sxa5k4ibg7tvz6rdmbihei13oackgz.lszt0sfb2li98ru79i9e1g8 xs4i6eokzg5ate53fmbi91bshadwhxkmgno”f00vwc1 s8d6faqm1l8w6w7ade7r2tb4mc4a4drrmcceym8(j-svfijs585d3wkudpbc1q7

In this branch, we are going td update olr `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fi4e, let’s 4se a cool7shortcut 7o cr7ate c comqitmw4nhomhueieniri6o2eu`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit b0cause we’fe using t5e “-a” opjion,6whicu mea2s 7h7p Gg8c3qlb 61yo1 tda ao7oqijdnge b215uez okdbj.fareucdmcheidc2hqcxldil 9mi7hnvt4ln 40p dt784 s1y66 4dlbs9sicu2,vsn8xumttshemzl28txi0siied5
