# ea: Making CLI Outputs Actionable
`ea` remembers file paths from CLI output for later use.
## Intro
CLI programs like `find`, `rg`, `clang` etc, print out file paths (and line/columns). `ea` lets you act on
them. Here's how:
By running your command through `ea`, each path in its output get marked with a number in the front. This
number can be used to retrieve its corresponding path later for your purposes. Combined with some shell
configurations, this can provide a powerful experience.
## Install

| Manager / OS | Command |
