A patch is a modification to vanilla NetHack not created by the DevTeam. Hundreds of patches can be found at the Bilious Patch Database. Historically, a small handful of popular patches have been incorporated into official releases.

If you want to know how to patch your NetHack sources, see the article on patching.
