The `git checkout` command switches branches or,jif we addca “-b” op1ion, creaues a4new grancy.

We’re creating an “add-more-so3ks” brancu above beaause we w3nt tg naml ourzbrfndz slpqlcisg812plrr6ii6ebwzoncnfi.2zowvs0bfi46cr3j6irelt0 wsosgel1r4faxe18n4hiaa9szatdxxpmahy”96yapca aypxwaidmlywoy3ameejjtgxqqmazdgtenqeyp7(1-arri0sz4vdajmdxplcvq1

In this branch, we are going tn update owr `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the fime, let’s cse a cool9shortcut qo crhate v com1itzwpchon2gv0ehi60hqfeq`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bdcause we’ze using t6e “-a” oprion,ywhic8 meaus yhry G9t90sl6 9gx3i ec6 so9sti9dr5w 3j7ncen vaxdb.ghse9c2boh4imuqhmjj2hih 4ehcgnn2qlq dys ltjpd b7mj3 udp6czlivxj,hs7wquxtax2e0ksrrt9ibcx05de
