In the spirit of a DVCS  as in  Distributed    you don t cancel something you have published  Pull requests are essentially patches you have send  normally by email  here by GitHub webapp   and you wouldn t cancel an email either       But since the GitHub Pull Request system also includes a discussion section  that would be there that you could voice your concern to the recipient of those changes  asking him her to disregards 29 of your 30 commits   Finally  remember    a  you have a preview section when making a pull request  allowing you to see the number of commits about to be included in it  and to review their diff  b  it is preferable to rebase the work you want to publish as pull request on top of the remote branch which will receive said work  Then you can make a pull request which could be safely applied in a fast forward manner by the recipient      That being said  since January 2011   Refreshed Pull Request Discussions    and mentioned in the answer above  you can close a pull request in the comments  Look for that  Comment and Close  button at the bottom of the discussion page
