Sometimes by mistake we push commits on remote branch.
I’ll show you how to remove/delete last commit from local & remote branch.

[mitesh@shah ~]$ git log --pretty=oneline

Now I want to delete last commit 037d772391792ff85b394e1e43f5f04bb7515e11

# Delete last commit
[mitesh@shah ~]$ git reset --hard HEAD^
HEAD is now at 8f2cc3d Minor Update on Resume

# Delete last two commits
[mitesh@shah ~]$  git reset --hard HEAD~2
HEAD is now at 9e57e45 HTTPS version in Author Bio
