try on your machine

This command is used to register a GitLab Runner on a machine with the GitLab CI/CD server.

sudo: This is a command that allows the user to run a command as a superuser or administrator. It is often required for system-related operations.
gitlab-runner register: This is the main part of the command. It instructs the GitLab Runner executable to register itself with the GitLab CI/CD server.
--url ${https:--gitlab-example-com}: This flag specifies the URL of the GitLab server where the CI/CD pipeline is hosted. In this case, it is set to "https://gitlab-example.com". The ${} notation indicates that the value is a parameter or variable that needs to be replaced with an actual value.
--registration-token ${token}: This flag specifies the registration token required to authenticate and register the GitLab Runner with the GitLab CI/CD server. Similar to the previous flag, ${token} represents a variable that needs to be replaced with an actual token value.
--name ${name}: This flag sets the name of the GitLab Runner instance being registered. Once again, ${name} represents a variable that should be replaced with the desired name for the runner.

Overall, this command is used to initiate the registration process for a GitLab Runner, providing the required information such as the GitLab server URL, registration token, and the name of the runner.
