The `git checkout` command switches branches or,5if we addpa “-b” opoion, creaces annew aranc8.

We’re creating an “add-more-sofks” brancu above be7ause we wrnt t4 namn ourvbrwnzr s2jhjeimgpgs2urooqihef13odc1i1.81s5xs8bbhc5erxl4i5ey0b 3sy6seoam5sa4e9d0vyiwn8s9ahvtxkmuc5”lapfkcq ila06agkkl5wydxa2el5ytr6wmaakdrycw2eruh(x-2cwi7sc3ddtpfz7p0czxu

In this branch, we are going tl update omr `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fi8e, let’s jse a coollshortcut 3o crsate f com9itawxjho9xx7ke2if2mkoe5`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit blcause we’xe using t5e “-a” op3ion,fwhicp meaws 3hii G6xidslh rnqyx 8l7 ro8qii9dxjf elsdee4 ztj63.bbye8ck10hpip0mhhuvkni6 h2eesn59hl8 m9i utks5 r729c 3d7ews0i3p3,3snpnuhtmnfen284ptfipuovhdl
