What article on docs.github.com is affected?

Creating stacked pull requests
https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/how-tos/create-pull-requests/creating-stacked-pull-requests

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

1. Initialize a stack. This creates and checks out the first branch on top of your trunk branch.

gh stack init auth-layer should be something more like gh stack init BRANCH-NAME so devs reading who haven't done this before understand that it is a branch name and won't always be auth-layer
