If you've already pushed your changes then it's not a good idea to remove the commit from the history. But it's still possible to discard your changes.

I assume that you have already pushed your commit to the remote repository and you want to discard all the changes made in that commit.

In this case, you should revert the commit: git revert 7235ac29. It will create another commit that cancels all the changes made in the 7235ac29 commit. You will have to resolve conflicts probably.
