I have many changes in the master. I want to do a pull request to the staging branch so that it can later merge to staging. I tried as the picture below, but nothing changes
How can I solve this problem?

Rebase
If you are trying to ensure staging is back at the same state as 'master' you can "re-base" it:
From the 'staging' branch
git rebase master
Alternatively:
Have you made sure to push your local commits to github (remote) ?
First ensure you're on the new branch:
git checkout staging
** Make some changes to local files example.js
Stage any changes made in the project directory:
git add .
Commit the changes locally:
git commit -m "My commit message"
Push the commit to the remote (github):
git push origin staging
If you try to make a pull request into 'master' on github you should now see the new commit.
Switch the base from master to staging. The base branch is the branch that you are going to merge into.
Furthermore, Github explains:
After initializing a pull request, you'll see a review page that shows a high-level overview of the changes between your branch (the compare branch) and the repository's base branch.
