I'm using a virtual environment to contribute to pandas that sits in a venv directory in the repository root. When I run ./ci/code_checks.sh, all of the linters and checks start to check every single .py file in the virtual environment's site packages, which is a pain. Same happens with the documenation checks and the generated .rst files in doc/source/reference/api.
It would be nice to ensure that the script only runs on files that are being tracked by git, or at least have an option to exclude a directory when doing the checks.

Sounds like from https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/36386 there isn't much appetite to add this so closing
