How To Install A Public Git Repository On A Debian Server.
General steps

    Install git + gitweb

    $ sudo apt-get install git-core gitweb

    Setup gitweb directories

    $ sudo mkdir /var/www/git
    $ [ -d "/var/cache/git" ] || sudo mkdir /var/cache/git

    Setup gitweb's Apache config

    $ sudo vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/git

    contents of file:

    <Directory /var/www/git>
       Allow from all
       AllowOverride all
       Order allow,deny
       Options ExecCGI
       <Files gitweb.cgi>
       SetHandler cgi-script
        </Files>
     </Directory>
    DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi
    SetEnv  GITWEB_CONFIG  /etc/gitweb.conf

    Copy gitweb files to Apache

    $ sudo mv /usr/share/gitweb/* /var/www/git
    $ sudo mv /usr/lib/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi /var/www/git

    Setup gitweb.conf

    $ sudo vim /etc/gitweb.conf

    Contents of gitweb.conf:

    $projectroot = '/var/cache/git/';
    $git_temp = "/tmp";
    #$home_link = $my_uri || "/";
    $home_text = "indextext.html";
    $projects_list = $projectroot;
    $stylesheet = "/git/gitweb.css";
    $logo = "/git/git-logo.png";
    $favicon = "/git/git-favicon.png";

    Reload/Restart Apache

    $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

    Setup Git Repository

    $ mkdir -p /var/cache/git/project.git && cd project.git
    $ git init

    Configure Repository

    $ echo "Short project's description" > .git/description
    $ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
    $ git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
    $ git commit -a
    $ cd /var/cache/git/project.git && touch .git/git-daemon-export-ok

    Start Git Daemon

    $ git daemon --base-path=/var/cache/git --detach --syslog --export-all

    Test clone the Repository (from a secondary machine)

    $ git clone git://server/project.git project

Adding additional Repos + Users

To add more repos simply repeat steps #7 - #9. To add users just create Unix accounts for each additional user.
