Prime and paint.For larger holes (larger than 8"), you will need a drywall patch, joint compound, a sanding sponge, drywall screws, a screwdriver, and a compound knife (to spread the joint compound).

Cut the drywall patch to the same size as the hole you just made. Screw the piece of drywall into the joists inside the hole. Use joint compound to cover the drywall screws and blend together where the drywall patch meets the old drywall. After it had dried, sand it even. Prime and paint.
