try on your machine

This command is used to modify the name of an existing group in a Linux system. Here's a breakdown of the command:

sudo: It is used to execute this command with administrative privileges. The user running this command must have sufficient permissions to modify groups.
groupmod: It is the command to modify a group in Linux.
--new-name: This option specifies that the following argument is the new name for the group.
${new_group}: This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the desired new name for the group. It must be a valid group name.
${group_name}: This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the current name of the group you want to modify. It should be an existing group in the system.

By running this command with the appropriate values for ${new_group} and ${group_name}, the group's name will be changed to ${new_group}.
