whereAmI

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

Regex bug fixed: script now works for countries with spaces in their names e.g. United States.
New line bug fixed: added new line character to end of script.

The script is now POSIX compatible.
It performs much better and is more conceis: 2 sed and 2 grep commands --> 1 sed command.
End points have again been updated to provide better geolocation accuracy.

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

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.
