Let's say I have an open Pull Request on Github and I pushed a new commit to the branch/PR.
Now I want to just ignore/undo the last commit only.

this is the git log output:

commit xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Author: John Doe <John Doe@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 19 22:55:39 2022 -0700

    last commit

commit yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Author: John Doe <John Doe@gmail.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 26 14:38:21 2022 -0700

    some tweks

commit zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Author: John Doe <John Doe@gmail.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 26 11:51:19 2022 -0700

    bla bla

I already pushed the last commit to remote / open PR.

What is the best way to "cancel" ONLY the last commit and leave things exactly how it was before the commit xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?

Is there a better/cleaner way than:

execute locally git reset HEAD^1 to undo the last commit then push it?

    The answer is, as long as you are on your own branch that only you push things into, is to reset locally back to the previous commit, then do a force push. This will **not** be appropriate if you are on a shared branch that others will push to. – Lasse V. Karlsen Oct 20 '22 at 12:58

You can use git reset commitId to undo the last commit Else you can use git reset --soft HEAD~1 to uncommit the changes Or you can use git reset --hard HEAD~1 to completely delete the changes
