  • What are you trying to achieve? Download the file or the patch? git url does not support anchors (the part behind #) address part of diff.

git pull is used for updating existing repository. If you want to download the content of the new repository, there is git clone command:

 $ git clone https://gist.github.com/sergeykish/650839
Cloning into '650839'...
remote: Counting objects: 15, done.
remote: Total 15 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 15
Unpacking objects: 100% (15/15), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
 $ cd 650839/
 650839 (master)$ ls
dvorak-de.diff  winkeys-ua.diff
 650839 (master)$ cat dvorak-de.diff 

You can download the single diff by clicking to the button Raw on the linked page. Or copy the url and from shell:

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sergeykish/650839/raw/ce43a3b70e769b6de8ecf996298455bc0f622125/dvorak-de.diff
