One of the best ways to solve the problem of EF Migrations conflicts is to treat the file DbContextModelSnapshot.cs as a binary file. This approach forces developers to fix the problem before they break the migration on the main branch.

As it is explained in https://jkdev.me/blog/handling-ef-core-migrations, you could include .gitattributes in the Migrations folder with the following:

PageDbContextModelSnapshot.cs binary

This will prevent any non-incremental changes to the DbContextModelSnapshot.cs file and will prevent migrations from breaking after merging with the master branch.

Hope this will help.
