I want to try out a patch on gist that modifies the source code of Django:
How do I do it? I have never used git so a step by step instruction would be greatly appreciated.

You can use
patchto apply diffs. Make sure you’re in your django source directory (or wherever you want to apply the patch), and run something likepatch -p1 < downloaded-patch.diff.You may want to experiment with the
-pargument if it fails; -p tellspatchto strip some of the directory prefix for each file in the diff (look at the first line in the diff).
