Similar to our snippet that runs all Cucumber features matching a given string, the following will run all modified or new Cucumber features by looking at your git status:
git status --short | grep -v '^ D ' | grep '.feature' | sed 's/.. //' | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs geordi cucumber
If you want to know what each of the above commands does, see explainshell Show archive.org snapshot .
Note that we use 
  geordi cucumber
  
    Show archive.org snapshot
  
 to run our tests. If you don't, xargs cucumber or similar might work for you.
Part of 
  Geordi 1.6.0
  
    Show archive.org snapshot
  
: geordi cucumber --modified.
