+Testing a patch file is usually a two-step process. First you download the patch
+file from the source, and then you run a separate command to apply it.
+
+You can save time and typing by running the two commands on one line:
+
+```bash
+$ curl http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply -v
+```
+
+Or, if you don't have curl installed, you can use wget:
+
+```bash
+$ wget -q -O - http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply -v
+```
+
+These commands need to be run within the root of your Git repository (i.e. where
+the .git directory is).
+
+These snippets were taken from
+[Applying Patches with Git](https://drupal.org/node/1399218) on Drupal.org.
