I have two remote projects; proj1 and proj2
I have created a local repository of proj2
git init
git remote add proj2 <url>
git fetch --all --prune
This gives me two branches - master and develop. I change to develop
git checkout develop
with the template we use I now have a number of empty project directories. However I want to remove these and copy over the contents from the develop branch of proj1.
I've tried using clone but to no effect.

You can add multiple remotes and fetch from them:
git remote add proj2 <url>
git remote add proj1 <url>
git fetch --all
You now have both proj1 and proj2 in your local repo, including references to the remote branches (proj1/develop, proj1/master, proj2/develop, proj2/master, etc..) You can merge, cherry-pick, or any other git operation between these branches to do what you need. You can selectively push your changes to proj1 or proj2 or both.
git checkout develop
git merge proj1/develop
git merge proj2/develop
<make more changes and resolve conflicts>
git commit -a
git push proj2 develop
