Is there any way of simulating a git merge
between two branches, the current working branch and the master, but without making any changes?
I often have conflicts when I have to make a git merge
. Is there any way of simulating the merge first?

You can use git merge --no-commit
to prevent the merge from actually being committed, and if you don't like how the merge works out, just reset to the original head.
If you definitely don't want to finalize the merge, even if it's a fast-forward (and thus has no conflicts, by definition), you could add --no-ff
as well.
