Git end of life: end of support by version
Git-Projekt · Development & DevOps
For Git by Git-Projekt, patchletter knows 8 support cycles. 5 of them have already ended and receive no more security updates. The current version of Git is 2.55.0. The cycles come from the open endoflife.date project, last reconciled on 22/08/2026.
When does support end for which Git version?
A cycle is a maintained version line. Where a date is given, support ends on that day — after it the vendor ships no more security updates for that line.

Where does the EOL data for Git come from?
From the open endoflife.date project, which collects vendors' official support commitments. patchletter reconciles the cycles daily; the Git data is as of 22/08/2026. In case of doubt the vendor's own lifecycle page applies — patchletter deliberately stores no vendor full texts.
