How can I use GIT in my own server?

Why do Facebook and Google use Github rather that setting up their own git server?

They only use Github for public API documentation and code. As said, this is because the entire reason they are releasing or open sourcing these things is to help the community! (of which there is a strong one on Github). They don't use Github for their real production code.

I'm actually pretty sure that these repositories are only a mirror, and that they also own their own git servers. But, they chose GitHub so they can contribute to the open source community with GitHub functions: fork, star, follow, etc. Also, there are a lot of people on GitHub, it's kinda like a social network. That's why they've chosen it. (Sorry for my grammar, I'm trying to do my best)
