Add a Community section

The "Community" section has appeared on the Mos.Hub cloud platform, in which any user can ask the community of Russian developers a question about writing code and help other programmers in solving their problems. This was announced by the Department of Information Technologies of Moscow (DIT) on February 26, 2025.

Over two and a half years of operation, Mos.Hub from the source code repository has grown into a multifunctional platform that unites more than 24 thousand Russian developers. Now here you can not only work together with the code and publish your solutions in the public domain, but share the expertise, answering user questions. So Mos.Hub becomes a platform that unites developers of different levels and specializations, helps them together to solve problems and develop a culture of working with open source in Russia, "said Alexey Anisimov, Deputy Head of the Department of Information Technologies of the city of Moscow.

You can get help from the IT community in the FAQ. Just click on the "Ask a question" button, fill in the title and description of the problem. If necessary, the user can add information about how he has already tried to solve the problem on his own - this will help other participants in the discussion in finding an answer.

After publishing, the question will appear in the shared feed. Topics in it can be filtered by date, activity and rating. Tags are also available for a more convenient search for questions of interest.

Any registered platform user can offer their answer to the question. For useful advice, its author receives reputation points that are visible to the entire community. A higher rating emphasizes the user's expertise. In addition, for certain achievements on the platform, for example, for answering questions and receiving reputation points, the user is assigned thematic badges, which are also displayed in his profile.

In addition, one of the answers to user questions is generated by artificial intelligence - a CoDIT chatbot with generative AI, which can advise on programming and technologies, analyze code and independently write code in popular programming languages. Thanks to integration into the "Community" section, the bot trains on real user questions and improves its skills. You can also ask a chatbot a question in the Help section.

Adding Automatic Code Check for Vulnerabilities

Users of the cloud platform Mos.Hub can now check their code for vulnerabilities with a static code analyzer. This opportunity appeared thanks to the integration of Mos.Hub with the city's secure development platform. This was announced on February 2, 2024 by the Moscow Department of Information Technologies (DIT).

The ability to automatically check code for vulnerabilities is this Mos.Hub function, which makes the platform even more useful for Russian developers. From a standard repository in which you can store code and work with it, the resource becomes part of a large-scale urban software development ecosystem. As of February 2024, more than 11 thousand users already trust him, and every month the demand for Mos.Hub is growing. In the future, the city will expand the applied practices and tools for checking for vulnerabilities in MosHub so that development on it is even safer, "said Alexey Anisimov, Deputy Head of the Department of Information Technologies of the city of Moscow.

To be able to automatically check the code for vulnerabilities, you must send a request to technical support to activate the Source Code Security Check function in the selected project or group of projects.

Registration of 10 thousand people in 8 months

In eight months, more than 10 thousand people have registered on the domestic cloud platform Mos.Hub for joint software development. This is a Moscow solution that has been available to all Russian developers since the end of May 2023. This was announced on January 22, 2024 by the Moscow Department of Information Technologies (DIT).

Mos.Hub is a full-fledged analogue of foreign platforms for working with code. At the same time, the capital's platform is free and available in Russian, and all its components are located in the city data center under reliable protection, so that developers can be sure of the safety of their code. Anyone can start working on Mos.Hub, for this it is enough to log in using the mos.ru portal account, authorization is also available using the accounts of other Russian online sites.

{{quote 'As of January 2024, Mos.Hub is one of the most stable and reliable tools for Russian developers. IT specialists are increasingly joining the platform: if in the first months several hundred people registered on it, then December became a record for Moscow. Hub - more than 4.6 thousand new users. Developers of operating systems and services, universities, web studios, schools and even some regions of Russia are connected to work on the site. Thus, Moscow is developing a useful digital resource not only for urban tasks, but also for the convenience of the entire domestic IT community, "said Alexey Anisimov, Deputy Head of the Department of Information Technologies of the city of Moscow. }}

Mos.Hub users posted more than 9.2 thousand projects on the platform. The vast majority are public. Among them, for example, libraries, courses, training projects, bots, source codes, package assemblies, blogs, sites, programs and much more. Projects hosted on Mos.Hub already contain more than 160 million lines of program code, which is several tens of times more than the code of the platform itself.

Moscow continues to develop Mos.Hub so that it becomes even more useful for developers. For example, recently, platform users have the ability to configure automatic code copying from external repositories and receive notifications in Telegram about events that occur in their public projects, such as merge requests, changes in tasks and mentions.

Mos.Hub is part of a lot of work to form the capital's software development ecosystem. Sergei Sobyanin noted that in the next few years the city plans to completely switch to its own solutions for joint software development. This will speed up the creation of new useful products for business and citizens, as well as allow Russian developers to remain competitive, regardless of decisions made outside the country.
