Two new files wouldn't create a merge conflict though (unless they have the same name)?
Git won't let the second person push if their commit history doesn't line up with the origin branch.
It should be trivial to do a git pull --rebase to move your new commit after the upstream version, but as far as I can tell, no one on my current project remembers this (or perhaps they're using gui tools or something). Our log is full of "merge origin/main onto main".
While we're at it, I like to use --autostash in addition.
Uuh, thanks for that hint! I've been using git over CLI for over 10 years now and never came across that flag.
