ShellLicense

A short shell script that returns you your IPv4 address and its geolocation.

Update December 10th 2020.

Update August 30th 2020.

If you have previously installed the script, update your local copy like this:

$ cd ~/whereAmI/
$ git pull origin master

Also for those who created an alias, change the interpreter to shebang:

alias myip="/bin/sh ~/whereAmI/findmepls.sh"

Installation

$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/trozler/whereAmI.git

I recommend adding the following alias to your bashprofile (~/.bash_profile). ~/.bashrc should also work.

$ echo -e '\nalias myip="/bin/sh ~/whereAmI/findmepls.sh"' >> ~/.bash_profile
$ source ~/.bash_profile

How to run

If you created the alias:

$ myip
88.3.356.944 - Palma, Balearic Islands, ES.

Otherwise:

$ /bin/sh ~/whereAmI/findmepls.sh
88.3.356.944 - Palma, Balearic Islands, ES.

Lastly, if you are not connected to the internet, then well, you must be somewhere off the shoulder of Orion.
