If you only need a bare minimum, and don't plan to heavily use CI/CD, container/packages registries, integrations with other tools i would go with gitea/forgejo (you can always use external tools on top), else i would use selfhosted Gitlab, it has pretty much all the things you could imagine to need with software development and deployment

Define, what does "git" mean to you?
The core git is a peer to peer system. You don't need any server at all. It runs on all of your dev's workstations anyway.
If you want a webserver with gitlab etc. on top of it, then that determines most your needs. In addition, a properly set up nameserver is very helpful, and maybe you want even an Active Directory?
We are looking for a versioning system for collaborated work. Each person shall have his own version with a central main version. Being able to commit, push and restore versions.
Thx for asking, we have a nameserver and active directory. We move this system from team foundation server / azure devops server
At work we selfhost gitlab (paid) and I'm checking gitea for my own projects. They have a good comparison table at https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison
Do you also need CI/CD?
Also working in a small team with Gitea. Pretty solid the last few years.

Is there a reason to choose gitlab over gitea?
We do not need ci/cd
If you don't need CI/CD I don't see any reasons to choose Gitlab over gitea. But I'm still testing gitea so take my words with a grain of salt :)

I can vouch for Forgejo
Easy to set up, has a website GUI like Github/GitLab you can use git GUIs with it
https://codeberg.org runs on Forgejo
Thank you! That would be my go to for my own projects as well. As far as I know they don't want company sponsorship. I am unsure about sustainability
I am unsure about sustainability
In what regard?
