1. Download the original source file that the patch file is a patch against.
2. Download the diff file.
3. Use the "patch" program to apply the patch. On Unix systems, that's
usually as simple as this:
cd /path/to/source/code
patch < /path/to/foo.diff
You want to watch the output of patch to make sure that it succeeded
in patching everything correctly.
Applying the patch may be different on Windows or some other non-Unix
system, but since I don't really use them much myself, I can't give
very good advice about them.
