ELI5 - How do Actors hide their limbs?

In Movies/Television shows where an Actors character loses a limb, say a leg or an arm, how are the future episodes/scenes filmed without showing the real limb?

I'm assuming most Actors aren't committed enough to actually lose a limb for their job.

In some movies, it's CGI - for example in forrest gump, lieutenant dan wore blue stockings and they edited them out with photoshop.

But in older movies, they used special costumes and creative camera angles to give the illusion of no limbs.

You can do it yourself with a loose fitting shirt and large cuffs, so you can pretend to be luke skywalker.
