I would like to know which command I can use in order to reload Nemo file manager from my terminal. I want to get exactly the same behavior as if I press the F5 key on the desktop.
Does someone knows how to do?

xdotool is a great litte program for doing gui tasks from the command line.
You could do something like this:
xdotool search --class nemo windowactivate %@ key F5
It will search for windows with the class nemo, activate them, and send F5 to them.

Thanks for this answer. I found this one but I wanted to get something native. – Booteille Apr 04 '17 at 15:55

You can do that by closing nemo & restarting it.
nemo -q # Stop nemo
nemo --no-default-window &> /dev/null & # Start nemo without opening a new window and send output to /dev/null
