Git server over http using nginx in windows

Question

I'm trying to setup private git server over http(s) using nginx in windows , but without any success yet.

I want it to be like github but locally and with very simple functionality . For example when you go to localhost/path/to/your/repo.git this site will only display the source code tree list nothing else. you have to do all git commands using git console in your machine.

I saw many posts to do something like that like:

Actually, I need to know that do I really need nginx ? I mean can I make it work with just python server code ?

I really confused what I have to do and what I'm missing, because it's my first time to deal with something like this and don't know nginx very well.

Can anyone help me to get it done ?

NOTE I don't want to use other tools like gitlab, I want to code it from the beginning

EDIT

I read about git-http-backend in git docs. I think now I should configure nginx to work with git-http-backend.exe (because I'm in windows)

here is my nginx conf file:

location / {

    root "C:/Users/One/Desktop/work";
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   "C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend.exe";
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO         $uri;
        fastcgi_param GIT_EXPORT_ALL "";
        fastcgi_param GIT_PROJECT_ROOT  "C:/Users/One/Desktop/work";  
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

I have project.git bare repository in C:/Users/One/Desktop/work , but git always return not found when I try to clone it.

git clone http://localhost/project.git test
Cloning into 'test'...
fatal: repository 'http://localhost/project.git/' not found

And this is nginx log file

127.0.0.1 - - [24/Jun/2015:14:04:10 +0300] "GET /project.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1" 404 168 "-" "git/1.9.5.msysgit.0"
