you can read up on the --bare option but you can point git to a remote location such as a network drive or even a local folder (I don't recommend this of course) but my point is there is no hard restriction within git as to where it is hosted. A long time ago when I was working in a company that still prescribed SVN, I used a backed up network drive location as the location for my git bare repos, I just used it to manage prototypes or feasibility work nothing serious but it was more familiar and productivity for me than the accepted SVN workflow.
