This is an old question, but I just found a very nice method to get a patch or diff file directly from Github.

When you are on your fork, there is a "Compare" link. Using that you are getting to the compare view.

Example

https://github.com/luisgoncalves/xades4j/compare/master...beat2:master

Now you can manually add either ".diff" or ".patch" to the end of this url, and you get the file directly in your browser.

Example

https://github.com/luisgoncalves/xades4j/compare/master...beat2:master.diff
