One of the reasons I'm such a prolific contributor here is I'm using the good people of codeproject.com
This site is an archive of my stuff, a portfolio, and documentation. I wonder if Chris feels used yet? 
To that end, I refer to my stuff when I'm mentoring other people on some reddit and discord spots I haunt.
It seems like I always have an article for the occasion that I can link to. "Oh here's how you do this." "You want to wrap that with *what* now? Okay. Here you go."
It's very convenient, but hard to keep up further inspiration for future contributions. I feel like a bit like The Simpsons - they already did it.

Or just hope for the best or just re-write everything from scratch with the 2 versions on different screens for reference ?
I added a new feature in my developement branch as part of some bigger changes (database) , I needed to backport it to main branch, and I improved it on the main branch.
Now I have to merge it back to the development branch.
lolz... 
I just hope it compiles at this point and start fixing it !!

Manually or auto: I can feel with you, I have always a bad feeling while merging branches

Step 1. Take chicken.
Step 2. Sacrifice chicken.
Step 3. Attempt merge.
Step 4. Cook chicken. At least that might work because step 3 sure as hell won't have and, at least you'll have a good meal.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You'll get less merge conflicts (it won't be perfect, just less) with strict formatting rules for the project. But, if it's already out of whack and the mergyness needs to happen...
(Speaking git lingo but it should be transferable)
Assuming it's a large merge....
- If it's not hundreds of commits and the devs actually made smaller commits, use rebase. It'll take a bit to go through all the commits but you can take it in bite sized chunks which may be mentally easier.
- If it's hundreds of commits then, first make sure you diff tool can ignore whitespace. Something like Beyond Compare will do that. Second, run all your linters and code formatters on both the target and the destination branches before attempting the merge. And lastly, for the love of all things pure do a 3-way merge to help give you context.

If you are comparing code - I strongly STRONGLY recommend Beyond Compare. My coworker, mentor, boss sent me in this direction, and I never looked back.
As far as the general process - full disclaimer I use SVN and Tortoise, so I cannot speak to what GIT does - doing a large merge should be off in a branch. Once you are done and happy, you can migrate it to the trunk. Using this approach, you have a retreat path. Feel free to do as many commits as you want on the branch to show your merge work. Better yet, have developer 1 and 2 commit their work on separate branches and merge those. Protect the trunk.

Developers mature and rational? You must be from the alternate timeline!

Can latest BC do a three-way diff/merge? (ie. diff 2 branches against a common ancestor)
I think that's why I've stuck with Araxis Merge .. but may give latest BC a try again. Araxis costs $

I believe so... I try to avoid that.

I use WinMerge for single files. Used to be much better before someone got the idea that when a directory on one side was empty that one should (must) show all the files on the other side.
So now I also use BeyondCompare. Just need to figure out all of the rules to add every time I must install it fresh.
And then I make sure I am very, very focused on figuring out the updates.

BC is legendary in my book. It even will show you what changed in images.
now, if they could lock down comparing Excel files, I would die and go to heaven.

Since Excel files are containers for multiple files, this would be like comparing two folders with added complications. In addition to there being multiple worksheets containing either grids or charts (and also charts on the grids), there's also highlighting, conditional rules, VBA macros, etc..
And that's before you consider how to actually display the difference between 2 versions of a worksheet, assuming they can be matched up when columns and rows may have been moved around, the worksheets have been renamed and moved into a different order...
Checking if the value of one cell has changed or is now a formula or an inserted image is barely the beginning!

lol, I didn't say it would be easy. I get the difficulty. I could live with just textual changes.

Was there not an export or save command for the rules?

I use git rebase master to put the branch's changes on top of the current version of master. You'll have to resolve conflicts just like with git merge.
After you're finished, then use git push --force-with-lease to push your changes to your remote branch. (You might need to ask the repo administrator to grant you this permission, or push these changes to a new remote branch if that is not possible. The reason the permission might be denied is that force pushes rewrite history, so if two people are working on the same branch it can cause problems.)
