My understanding is that cgit just creates the web frontend of the Git
repo, but that serving actual Git clients over HTTP is handled by the
webserver in conjunction with git-http-backend, which is a CGI component
of Git.

The Git documentation offers instructions on configuring 'smart HTTP'
with Apache:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Smart-HTTP

I think the parts about client authentication should be skipped unless
you want to allow pushes over HTTP.
