If you use the Geany's Git mirror, you can use Git's patching facility:

  $ git apply patch-file

Otherwise, you can simply use the `patch` tool:

  $ patch -p1 < patch-file

See the manual of each for more details, or ask if you have a particular
issue.

Most of them are already applied to SVN version of Geany (especially the
tag paring stuff, if you refer to my in-memory tag parsing patches), so
maybe just try the SVN version -- or update it if you already use one ;)
