It's probably true that there's little documentation on hosting a Git
server on Windows because most people doing so on their own do it on
Linux or another Unix system.  It certainly is possible, but because
it's a rather uncommon configuration, you'll typically be left to
figuring it out for yourself.

If you're using a Unix system, there are options like Gitolite and
Forgejo, depending on what you're looking for, but I'm unsure if any of
those support Windows.  Running such a tool may be easier than doing it
yourself, but you may find that the documentation in `git http-backend
--help` may help you set up Git with an HTTP server (such as Apache) if
you're interested in doing that.
