Getting Public IP from Shell
dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.comor bind to an alias:
alias ip="dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com"In my experience I've found this to be considerably faster than many of the cURL / ifconfig.me solutions.

alias myip="ifconfig | grep 'inet ' | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | cut -d\ -f2"
