you don't need to learn how to script to use bash.

>>54657576

>>54657615 and >>54658015 are the best and only ways. Staring at documentation and online code monkey courses will only get you so far when there's still no reason to use it, find new ways to integrate a shell and shell utilities into your daily workload.

I got myself comfortable with a shell by setting up a Solaris box as a terminal server, I use it almost every day to check mail, wiki surf on old hardware, take notes and manage them using scripts, store information and maintain a website. I still have a long way to go, but I feel that I can survive with nothing but a shell if I really have to.

Read The Linux Command Line

>>54658033
You don't, but it can be a motivating factor to make your command line environment more useful and tailor it to your specific use case.
>>
>>54657576
>>read man <command>
>>
Figure out how to do basic things like cat, pipe, grep. Then check out your system logs, ssh into another machine, start some processes, run a cron script, etc.

Helps if you're running a site or working on a project
