git push/pull and that kind of stuff should be doable with any service,
if you want to create repositories you'll need to use a web interface or
some special client.

As far as I understand you have a webserver that serves files from a
directory on some server?  If so, you can create a bare repository in
your server directory

     $ git init wrap-search.git

on your local machine you can then create a git repository, add your
file, initialise a remote repository and push your current state:

     $ git init
     $ git add wrap-search.el
     $ git commit -m "Initial commit"
     $ git remote add origin your-user@your-server:path/to/wrap-search.git
     $ git push remote

you can then check if everything works by cloning this repository

    $ git clone https://your-website.net/some/other/path/wrap-search.git

The ELPA people do not have any singular preferred service, to my
knowledge.  This might be of use:
