Install git, this provides the git-http-backend. yum install git

Install httpd. yum install httpd

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /srv/git
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL

<Files "git-http-backend">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Git Access"
    AuthUserFile /srv/git/.htpasswd
    Require expr !(%{QUERY_STRING} -strmatch '*service=git-receive-pack*' || %{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#/git-receive-pack$#)

Test procedure

On the server:

cd /srv/git
mkdir my-test-repository
cd my-test-repository
git init --bare
chown -R apache:apache /srv/git

On a client:

mkdir my-test-repository
cd my-test-repository
git init
echo "test" > README.md
git add -A
git commit -m 'initial import'
git remote add origin http://localhost/git/my-test-repository
git push -u origin master

As far as I know, all repositories need to be created server-side before you are allowed to push to them.

From outside

Where the IP of your server is 10.179.127.226,

git clone http://10.179.127.226/git/my-test-repository

Cloning is unauthenticated, only push is authenticated.
