Thanks, this got me 80% of the way there. I found that I needed git remote add <other-fork-alias> <other-fork-URL> to get this to work.

So is the final version of this supposed to be the following?:

git checkout <branch>
git remote add <other-fork-alias> <other-fork-URL>
git fetch <other-fork-alias>
git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
git push <your-fork-alias>
