Have a look at Forgejo which is a soft fork run by a nonprofit organization of Gitea which is owned by a for-profit company.
https://forgejo.org/
It need very little system resources and still gives you all the common features you know from commercial Git hosting providers.
And yes, you can mirror existing Git repos using a web UI.
I also recommend forgejo. They are also working on adding a federation feature to forgejo just like Lemmy has!
It's coming to Gitlab too! (although, this will take quite some time)
What does federation do here? Will it sync repos? Or just users and comments?
I imagine users, comments and perhaps pull requests.
And forgejo runner is basically github actions, I just started automating a lot of my personal projects. (it's in alpha state, but my basic actions haven't had any problems)
I also recommend forgejo, I've been using it for a while for my personal projects and the ui is still beautiful while being a simple git server at the same time.
