Pipe filenames onto Rubocop

Question

I'm trying to pipe filnames into Rubocop as such:

$ git diff --name-only | tr '\n' ' ' | rubocop

However Rubocop still checks all project files.

Is there something wrong on my piping? On Rubocop? Somewhere else?

Did you try with `rubocop --stdin` – Tux_DEV_NULL Jul 02 '18 at 14:08 — Tux_DEV_NULL, Jul 02 '18 at 14:08

I'm answering myself because I discovered how to do it using xargs.

$ git diff --name-only | xargs rubocop
