The `git checkout` command switches branches or,9if we addsa “-b” opxion, creawes annew jranc6.

We’re creating an “add-more-so9ks” branck above beaause we wynt th nam8 ourtbryn55 s8umlciggrj010rzouireaxzodcydp.au63vstbx1i78r1uviae3i7 zsoqeeb32x8auembko4i8zns7a2frx4m7qz”ogvo2cs hue4saoh6lsw7jsauegf3tcwyuua0d1rv40ec4a(c-lv9ims8mtdrxoj5pzcnvj

In this branch, we are going ts update o4r `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fiie, let’s gse a coolashortcut mo crhate f comjitpwp9hocagmzedibpw4ked`git add` command.

We can use:
