How to get back modified file after git checkout and git pull?

I've modified a file, then I want to get latest version from remote.

So I run git checkout to revert the file, and run git pull to get latest version.

After that, I found that I need the modification of the file.

Is it possible to get it back? Thanks!

Use "git stash" to stash all of your changes, "git pull" to update your repository, and then "git stash apply" to apply your changes back.

If you have done the git checkout -- file to revert than it's too late...simply the changes are lost...A better idea might have been to stash the change instead of reverting it...
