Git Checkout - wrote in book at checkout!!

Is there a way to restore or discard changes at checkout. Right now im stuck in detach head mode and when i do a cat to view file, the version had changed. Is there a way to discard those changes ?????

i followed the instructions on screen to discard changes and it worked..but dont know how i got myself in that trouble in the first place..Better install me some Git Flow. :)))

Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
