Gitea is a self-hosted git server you can run on your Linux rig, enabling you to be in full control of hosting your own repositories. In this video, the process of setting up Gitea is shown on an AlmaLinux server. You'll see the process of setting up the server, installing Gitea, and even making your first commit to a repository that's being hosted on your new server.
