Submit a pull request and proceed with the change management process merging into the master 
branch and then deleting the working branch.

Here is another ios_command example: Repeat the same outlined NDLC process: add work to the board; mark it as active; create a working branch; refresh local repository / VS Code / Linux via git pull; change to working branch.

Create a reconnaissance playbook called ios_command_ospfneighbors.yml.
