Using patch.  Give the patch file to "patch" via stdin, with some occasional
arguments.

patch -p0 -N < patch_file

If the path to the file is properly specified in the patch file itself, then
this will be automatic.  Otherwise, you'll need to specify the file you want
to patch.  You can see the man page for more details and options.

Good luck!
