When using the rebase action on pull requests coming from forks, Mergify can impersonate a user via the bot_account option to perform the rebase. This capability will be removed on July 1, 2026. After this date, the rebase action will no longer be able to rebase fork pull requests with this configuration. Please switch to the update action/command to ensure compatibility going forward. Affected pull requests will now receive a deprecation notice as a comment.
