To assemble your cURL command to upload your files to Nexus you will want to the following format. Substitute the following:

${USER_TOKEN} and ${PASS_TOKEN} are the two strings you took note of in Nexus.
${LOCAL_FILENAME} is the path to the file you want to upload from your disk.
${REPO_NAME} is the name of your repository inside Nexus. For example, for Android builds this would be game-name-android-client-builds.
${TARGET_FILENAME} is the path to where the file should go inside the repository, including the filename in the repo.

curl -v -u ${USER_TOKEN}:${PASS_TOKEN} --upload-file ${LOCAL_FILENAME} https://nexus.bigfishgames.com/repository/${REPO_NAME}/${TARGET_FILENAME}

The automation team maintains an upload_to_nexus script in the ci-utils repository on GitHub.
