Other details about the code repository, including the exact timing of its launch, are not given.Earlier, the Ministry of Communications has already offered to allocate money for the creation of a Russian \"mirror\" of GitHub.
This is needed as part of anti-crisis measures and import substitution programs.
In addition, recently it became known that GitHub began to block the repositories of Russian developers who fell under the sanctions of the United States.
The repositories of Sberbank and \"Alfa Bank\" have already been blocked.GitHub is the world's largest and most famous service for the hosting of software code and collaborative work on it.
