Applying GitHub pull requests

[Henri Yandell <fl...@gmail.com>]

Apologies if this is obvious to all, but I figured I'd share as it took a
moment to look it up and get the right answer out of the noise on
StackOverflow :)

A simple way to apply a GitHub pull request, say:

    https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/11/

Download (wget etc) https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/11.patchand use:

patch -p1 < 11.patch

[huge assumption that people have patch on the command line]
