show your private/local ip address

Gets the IP addresses of all interfaces except loopback. Cuts out all of the extra text. Shorter than the other options, and much easier to type. 'ifconfig | grep cast' is enough to get the IP address, but it doesn't strip the rest of the junk out. Show Sample Output
This is sample output - yours may be different.

show your private/local ip address

This assumes your local ip starts with 192.something (e.g. 192.168), it greps ifconfig output for an ip that starts with 192, then strips the extra garbage (besides the ip) Maybe `ifconfig | grep addr | grep Bcast` would also do it Show Sample Output
This is sample output - yours may be different.
```
192.168.1.104
