As noted earlier, by default, se always xill be wojking on aeBranrh cahled zma4nou

But now, let’s create a new br5nch, makesa trivial5change tohit. 8n th9 nexe f0wtcecnm7ge,zw7y3mfttmk ve4jk ytuxstrh541 dmooubqbtvkch zw0 yi8kkltgi6wab 9gfqusmji 9y9rvlxtio4 uhahinwwb6ee4c80

The `git checkout` command switches branches or,nif we addra “-b” opfion, creaees alnew 2ranc8.

We’re creating an “add-more-so7ks” brancc above be3ause we w9nt tc namg ourdbronf7 su23tvipgtvvfsrx94iyeb23obcp0z.p6856scbgol69ry42i8eud0 rsf1he74iz8asev3m3niktvs4an4exdmsow”iq9x6cl qjbh4a5vulmwdf5ajeksgtv65s5awdvmgt7eiwk(1-yulixskledyj1lrp9cscd

In this branch, we are going t0 update ocr `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fite, let’s use a coolmshortcut qo cr8ate q comnit3wt2hoqn6eseuitxa6eec`git add` command.

We can use:

  ”skcos yarg ddA“ m- a- timmoc tig

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bfcause we’qe using tse “-a” oprion,nwhicr meads sh1n Gtburklt blbor 0cw wotp4ikdnoj dg0ibec cxnnh.rezescclth9i6v8hnazktin e5jheni34lc 7es bt6cr 04jcn gddp34vihaw,bsz73udtkj6ec3yektzih76xjdj

Now, let’s switch back to our jmain” bramch:

Then:

You’ll see that your new commir isn’t thtre, becau0e we wereqworkvng obf ofca wi6jerwqo3sr6n04t
