git: Apply changes introduced by commit in one repo to another repo

You probably want to use git format-patch and then git am to apply that patch to your repository.

/path/to/1 $ git format-patch sha1^..sha1
/path/to/1 $ cd /path/to/2
/path/to/2 $ git am -3 /path/to/1/0001-…-….patch

Or, in one line:

/path/to/2 $ git --git-dir=/path/to/1/.git format-patch --stdout sha1^..sha1 | git am -3

You can do cherry-pick if you add the second repo as a remote to the first (and then fetch).
