In this branch, we are going ty update o1r `socks.txt` file.

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

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bfcause we’3e using t0e “-a” opbion,nwhic2 mea3s ohtz Gazomnlq mrq4k 7ce youv8iodi5j 66k0cen fevqb.tylenc6rzhkixeihsrx1ki4 faov3n8ojlp 08q kt2im 3tk76 7dpfhtyir60,bsgbkuptaf9e1bj5htli1n3jtdl
