aider/linter.py:37:13: F841 local variable '_output' is assigned to but never used
            _output = subprocess.check_output(cmd, cwd=self.root).decode()
            ^

ASSISTANT: Please add `aider/linter.py` to the chat so I can make the necessary changes to fix the flake8 issue.

USER: I added these files to the chat: aider/linter.py

ASSISTANT: To fix the flake8 issue, we need to remove the unused variable `_output` in the `run_cmd` method. Here is the *SEARCH/REPLACE* block:

aider/linter.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH
            _output = subprocess.check_output(cmd, cwd=self.root).decode()
            return  # zero exit status
=======
            subprocess.check_output(cmd, cwd=self.root).decode()
            return  # zero exit status
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```

This change will remove the assignment to the unused variable `_output` while keeping the call to `subprocess.check_output`.
