Git Integration for Jira Cloud supports all cloud-hosted versions and officially supported versions of self-hosted git services.

Most git services have End-of-Life (EOL) policies ranging from one year or more following the release date.
GitHub Enterprise EOL
GitHub Enterprise Server EOL is generally one year following its release date.
Examples:
- GitHub Enterprise Server 2.16.0: Released January 22, 2019 → EOL January 22, 2020
- GitHub Enterprise Server 2.17.0: Released May 23, 2019 → EOL May 23, 2020
Resources:
- GitHub Releases page for release dates and notes
- Documentation pages for EOL notices
- Release notes for EOL announcements
GitLab CE/EE EOL Support Policy
GitLab supports one stable release at a time. For security issues, GitLab may backport fixes:
| Security Level | Backport Policy |
|---|---|
| Medium | May backport to previous two monthly releases |
| Critical | May backport to additional monthly releases (case-by-case) |
Patch releases include only bug fixes for the current stable version.
Why this policy exists:
- Community and Enterprise distributions double testing/release work
- Backporting to multiple releases creates high development and support costs
- Supporting parallel versions discourages incremental upgrades
- High volume of changes makes backporting complex
For more information, see GitLab releases.
Bitbucket Server/Cloud EOL Support Policy
Bitbucket Server
See the Bitbucket EOL support announcement page for:
- Latest version support
- Older version support
- Supported platforms
Bitbucket Cloud
Atlassian provides advance notice before removing features. See Bitbucket Cloud EOL support announcements.

Gerrit End of Life (EOL)
The Gerrit open-source community actively supports the last 2 releases on a best-effort basis. Older releases may receive important fixes (such as security fixes), but there is no guarantee.
EOL for old releases occurs when a new Gerrit version is released and is announced via project news.
For more information, see the Gerrit support page.
