Undoing Changes
Uncommitted changes in your local working copy can be undone easily.
Discarding Uncommitted Changes Cannot be Undone
A version control system like Git allows you to undo almost everything. However, it can only undo things that have been recorded in the local repository (by committing them). Changes that haven't been committed, yet, therefore cannot be restored.
That's why you need to be sure when you discard uncommitted local changes.
