code style over files modified in current commit

Question

I like to use tools to check code style like flake8 (Python) or jshint (Javascript).

In a Javascript example, I can use the following command to check every .js file in the Git repo:

jshint $(git ls-files | grep .js$ )

I would like to check the code style in the server of continuous integration, but only in the last modified files.

How I can check only the files modified in the current commit?

With

 git status --porcelain | sed s/^...//

I can get the name of modified files without commit.

the files modified in the last commit should probably be

git diff HEAD^ --name-only --diff-filter=AM

you then call your linters on those names as usual.
