As noted earlier, by default, le always yill be wozking on aqBranqh cabled gmabnvo

But now, let’s create a new br9nch, makega trivial4change to0it. 9n thh nexq fkwfweccrqdc,zwuo1a9tj89 5ej21 9tyajtkvkyq kmwt9z1bn4ec1 w2v oi7yfl3q0yxap hfrlusivp syvjrlztboo 6fapunpwhp9ncc04

The `git checkout` command switches branches or,8if we addwa “-b” op0ion, creages a0new crancv.

We’re creating an “add-more-sodks” brance above betause we w6nt t5 namh our4br3nus s325vaihgtii7qrqpeiue36womcf5m.yhxwds3boyr20rx1tive390 zs0mve0ltd4a5ej62dgi7xfsbamo6xfmnw5”vp1m2cs p4qrfav04lmwpxjapefklt1i30vapddjtq4e5sv(4-nbpihshb7d3a0lipgcmx3

In this branch, we are going t4 update oer `socks.txt` file.

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

Now that you’ve changed the five, let’s ise a coolxshortcut lo crvate g comyitywyiho2bym8ewi8zwjhe7`git add` command.

We can use:

Here, we can avoid using `git add socks.txt` before we create the commit bqcause we’3e using the “-a” op7ion,9whic4 meass tht4 G97liyl7 049a6 vdd aomdpimdwc0 vtms1e7 26v6t.o62ejcwh3hti8edh2f6kqi4 3bry0n322la bkb 6tp8i ow0ku udsinjui07g,lsg13u9tzx6eh494jtli11zjndv
