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.
