+To execute commands for the changed file list, you can use the shell `Command
+Substitution

+
+:samp:`$ uv run codespell $(git list-changed '*.py')`
+    The shell executes the ``git list-changed`` in brackets and inserts its
+    output into the outer command. ``codespell`` therefore receives the list of
+    changed text files as an argument.
+:samp:`uv run pytest $(git diff --staged --name-only "tests/*test_*.py")`
     calls :doc:`python-basics:test/pytest/index` to execute only those test
     modules that have been changed in the working directory.

 The same procedure can be used to obtain useful diffs from other binaries, for
 example ``*.zip``, ``*.jar`` and other archives with ``unzip`` or for changes in
 the meta information of images with ``exiv2``. There are also conversion tools
 for converting ``*.odt``, ``*.doc`` and other document formats into plain text.
 For binary files for which there is no converter, strings are often sufficient.
