How to setup a local Git server on Windows in 5 minutes using Gitea

In this guide, we will set up a local Git server on a Windows machine using Gitea. Gitea is an open source alternative to GitHub and can be hosted on different environments.

Our use case is an Unreal Engine project that needs to be done in a tight network setup with no need for outside access. The Windows machine needs enough disk space to hold the entire version history of the project. It also needs to be accessible on the local network.

How would a remote user access it? I would guess we could we just open up the 3000 port on router and do some port forwarding?
