+# Behind Upstream
+
+This handler checks if a PR is based on an *X* days old commit.
+
+## Context
+
+When a PR's code is based on a very old commit from an upstream branch:
+It passes when tested locally, but fails when the PR is submitted for testing through CI.
+
+This is because the CI applies the commit patches to the current upstream branch,
+which may have new test cases, so it won't pass. We need to rebase the PR to the nearest upstream branch.
+
+## Configuration
+
+> The default threshold is currently set at **7 days**.
+
+This feature is enabled on a repository by having a `[behind-upstream]` table in `triagebot.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[behind-upstream]
+```
+or, you can set the day threshold,
+```toml
+[behind-upstream]
+days-threshold = 7
+```
+
+## Implementation
+
+See [`src/handlers/check_commits/behind_upstream.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/triagebot/blob/HEAD/src/handlers/check_commits/behind_upstream.rs).
