Originalpytest-picked
Run the tests related to the unstaged files or the current branch (according to Git)

Let's say you have the following output from git status:
$ git status
On branch main
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit.
(use "git push" to publish your local commits)
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
api.py
tests/api/
tests/test_board.py
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
Running pytest --picked, the plugin will run all tests that come from
this output.
