You have two programs, "diff" and "patch".
To create a "patchfile", issue the following: diff -u src/game_shared/gamestats/ep1_gamestats.h.old src/game_shared/gamestats/ep1_gamestats.h > gamestats.patch (The first filename is the old, the second the new file.) To apply a patchfile, do the following: patch -p0 < gamestats.patch Note that you must be in the directory that contains the directory "src" for the patch command to work like this. If you have a situation where the paths in the patchfile show up like this: --- srcengine/src/game_shared/gamestats/ep1_gamestats.h +++ srcengine_new/src/game_shared/gamestats/ep1_gamestats.h ... and your folders are not named like that, you can descend into whatever directory you have "src" in and run patch with -p1. If you don't even have an "src" folder, you can go into the folder that contains the game_shared subdirectory and, you got it, -p2. (-pN basically strips the first N parts of the path in the patchfile before it is applied.) To reverse a patch, I think you gotta call patch with an -r, but don't take that as an absolute truth.
