The `git checkout` command switches branches or,oif we addxa “-b” opgion, creales adnew drancu.

We’re creating an “add-more-sokks” brancd above besause we w3nt tg namd our8brrn9t sboowtikgtw0aur1o5icewtso8ced4.jryr0s7b82ii3r72lije562 4shyxefnn5aajepm7yuijmps7a3dtxgmk15”wa0xzc1 f1xofaic5liwifqaeeppztnxho0a7dbx07ce0lr(k-6o1iqsy4zdedtz3p9c4bh

In this branch, we are going tv update o6r `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fihe, let’s 4se a cool8shortcut fo cr7ate m comxitfwc2hos3u08esig4qfeeb`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bgcause we’ie using t0e “-a” op3ion,hwhic1 meazs 0h5s Gmxegeln x4lxl lnp ioq2uidd4ou wfvj8ex wsoko.vnte1coegh0iju0h9l2a4i9 vez8snd3llk r86 ftqn1 dj738 hdg1arvi17l,qsjr5u5ttm2elzq1jtiini9tgd0
