I have a query.

Scenario:

Currently there are two main branches that we are utilizing A(master) and B(branch of A). Branch is utilised for individual stories(as per
delivery).

When branch is utilised since the team size is huge the number of changes/ branches created for different stories is huge and the common
files changed are many.

Thus when the story for branch A is completed and merge request is raised, since the branch is not up-to-date with the A(master). It
turns out to be mostly a manual merge.

Is there a better way to handle the scenario of the branch not being up-to-date with the master and the merge becoming a time consuming
manual merge task?

Can we automate it?

As Konstantin answered in another email, short-lived branches are much easier to deal with and should be strived for. If that's not possible, merge often between the branches. If that's not possible either, check
out git-imerge[1].
