| A patch, sometimes also called a diff, is a file that shows what changes have been made to a file, or group of files. They are a common way for developers to exchange changes to software. For practical instructions see:

| At the top it says which file is being affected. Changes to several files can be included in one patch. Lines added are shown with a '+', lines removed are shown with a '-', lines changed are shown as the old line being removed and the new one added.
| |
| | |
| Patch files are good because they only show the changed parts of the file. This has two advantages: it easy to understand the change; and if other parts of the same files change between the patch being made an being used, there is no problem, the patch will still apply.
| |
| | |
| Note that there are several slight variants of the patch format. The example above is a 'unified' patch, which is now the standard.
