The command sudo gitlab-ctl restart ${nginx} is used to restart the Nginx service in GitLab using the GitLab Control (gitlab-ctl) utility.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• sudo: It is a command that allows you to run a command with superuser privileges. It is typically used to execute administrative tasks that require elevated permissions.
• gitlab-ctl: It is a command line utility provided by GitLab that is used to manage the different components of a GitLab instance, such as starting, stopping, and restarting services.
• restart: It is an argument passed to the gitlab-ctl utility that instructs it to restart the specified service.
• ${nginx}: It represents a variable named nginx that is being passed as an argument to the gitlab-ctl utility. The exact value of this variable will depend on how it is defined or assigned in the script or environment where this command is being used.

By running this command, you are essentially restarting the Nginx service within GitLab, which can help apply any configuration changes or updates that might have been made.
