Git server running on Windows 7

I would like to make some demos for my team that showcase interaction use cases between local and remote Git branches and simulate a multi developer teamwork environment. To avoid creating new GitHub (which is what we use for remote) accounts, as well as to avoid cluttering the remote with demo dummies, I would prefer to mock a remote server on my Windows 7 laptop and push there from my local branches, associated with different user accounts, that are all also on my laptop. IOW, emulate a Git remote server on a Windows 7 laptop. Is that possible and how?

Just use the local protocol, and specify the file path as a remote. It should work regardless of operating system. Inside git bash, you can do

git init .
git remote add origin /path/to/remote/directory/on/localhost
# Add some stuff
git push origin master
