Haven't done this myself but git-scm has a chapter on it so that may help

I set up a GIT server on a Linux box in about half an hour. It's really simple to do.

Forgive me, but if your concern is security how is it more secure running an internet facing server locally versus using github?
Do you really think your own unmonitored network is more secure than git's? Are you that confident in your server, your firewall and the software itself?
I don't mean to criticize, I just feel like I'm missing something.
Maybe you plan on using VPN?

Maybe it is less likely a single individual computer/server might be less a target than something like github ?
I'd rather be phishing!

Maybe... before he announced it on the internet!

You're kidding maybe, but you raise an important point. The more people use it, the more people know about it, the more it gets out there, the higher your odds of being hacked.

That's true, but it amounts to "security by obscurity", which is a thing precisely because it is Bad(TM)
Github is serious bait though, so I understand, it's just that localizing it doesn't necessarily make you more safe - in fact, it will be less safe if someone *does* hack it, because then they're on your network.
Playing the odds with someone not finding out almost universally underestimates malicious actors, who use crawlers, hacked DNS servers, and scanners (all usually distributed) and the like to find vulnerable targets. That's part of why I said security by obscurity is Bad(TM)
I'm not a security expert, but I *may* have had more experience with it because of my background than some people here, and so I'm offering this FWIW.
Anyone who has been in a network security role, by all means weigh in here.

If it's connected to the internet via one of the 4 billion IPv4 addresses it's got a great big target on it, and is being constantly scanned by malware bots looking for known vulnerabilities that they can pwn.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Three-four guys from work (counting me), max.
The reason I don't want to use GitHub is because they're a big target, and the code is somewhat sensitive in nature (not classified, but I don't necessarily want to have it stolen, either.

It might be worthwhile to invest in something like - they used to call it a steelhead server? - something that can take incoming VPN connections. Expose your services through that, since it dramatically decreases your vulnerable surface area of your network. Basically to even get a port list you have to pass challenge response auth on a hardened system.

I store all my source code at VisualStudio.com[^]. I've stuck with using TFS-VC because when I created my (free) account eons ago, Git wasn't an option. Today, you can choose to use Git instead of TFS-VC. I think this will meet your needs. You can also optionally allow others to collaborate on specific projects as long as they have a Microsoft identity.

Just saw this meme / quote[^].

I didn't get it at first because I've only seen a few examples of that meme. At first, I thought it was mawkish!

You just reminded me that I missed Sunshine Week this year!
Sunshine Week - Wikipedia[^]
Speaking of PITA people, I've often wondered if they know they are being a PITA? If they know, do they care? I swear, I know too many that seem to take pride in it, most notably the daily callers/texters.

And you just reminded me of It's a Sunshine Day: The Brady Bunch[^]. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember this.

I surrender too. Too many ways to parse it, especially given that some of it must be indirect.
