I want to sync staging branch with master using GitHub CLI tool (gh). So I am on the master branch locally and I run this command:

gh pr create -b staging -t "master -> staging"

but I receive this error:

must be on a branch named differently than "master"

I am still new to GitHub CLI and I am not sure why I need to have a branch different name.

By default,

Sidenote: In your question you are using -b staging which is short for --body staging. The correct shorthand for --base staging would be -B staging.
