I am reading [The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction](http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php) to learn about the command line. The book is great. However, there is a major problem for me: It does not have exercises/projects at the end of each chapter to let the material sink in.

Most programming books I have read so far had exercises/projects at the end of each chapter to let the material sink in. I have searched the internet for "command line exercises" and similar queries but not much came up.

I read that the best practice is to actually make use of the command line by making it do a task of your own. However currently, I really can't think of a useful task to use the command line.

So how should I practice to let the material sink in? Or, should I use a book that teaches a Unix shell with end-of-chapter exercises?

P.S: I am pretty sure that I can find a lot of *shell scripting* exercises. But currently, I am on chapter 7 and shell scripting starts at chapter 24. So right now, I need exercises to do directly on the terminal.
