I have a source repo with several folders and a number of commits across those folders. I am looking to cherry-pick some of the commits that created specific files and sub-folders in the source repo and move them into the root folder of a destination repo.

E.g.

source_repo/
|--linux/
   |--scripts_folder/
   |  |--script1.sh
   |  |--script2.sh
   |--notes.bash

destination_repo/
|--Readme.md

I am trying to end up with a structure like this:

destination_repo/
|--scripts_folder/
|  |--script1.sh
|  |--script2.sh
|--notes.bash
|--Readme.md

I have tried the following, but it pulls the linux folder in as well.

cd destination_repo
git remote add source https://github.com/user/source_repo.git
git remote update
git cherry-pick <sha-start>^..<sha-end>
