If you're removing a commit and don't want to keep its changes @ferit has a good solution.

If you want to add that commit to the current branch, but doesn't make sense to be part of the current pr, you can do the following instead:

1. use git rebase -i HEAD~n
2. Swap the commit you want to remove to the bottom (most recent) position
3. Save and exit
4. use git reset HEAD^ --soft to uncommit the changes and get them back in a staged state.
5. use git push --force to update the remote branch without your removed commit.

Now you'll have removed the commit from your remote, but will still have the changes locally.
