So at some point you will want to know your own IP Address. And when that time comes, here is how to do it.
If you are on macOS:
ifconfig | grep inet
This will give you a list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Grab the one that says inet next to it and that should be it.
If you are on Ubuntu:
ip addr show
Now this I just love. You could even shorten that to ip a if you wanted to, but why would you with such a beautifully descriptive command?
If ip addr show gives you too much information, hostname -I does the trick as well, only more focused.
