Even if there are no "physical" merge conflicts that git can detect, there are likely to be "logical" conflicts like this, where a library was removed that your test depended on.

If there are no "physical" conflicts you do not need to push the merge to the PR on github, since that might invalidate approvals, but you need to test it locally.
