[Gimp-docs] Do I need a github account?

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak]

I expected that it was something like this....

Well, now that I have created the patch, I have no idea how to "extract 
the patch as a file" so that I can host it or send it.

After work tonight, I will look for the command that tells me how to 
extract the "patch" as a listing (that I can redirect) or as a file. The 
changes are, after-all, small and simple for my first try.
