Don't tell the reader to `git checkout origin/*'
This results in a branchless checkout (detached HEAD). Making changes
like this is a valid way to use Git, but IMO not something we should
be recommending.
Branches are cheap and it's harder to lose your commits if they're on
a named branch than on a detached HEAD.
