Is it possible to create a have a private repository for linux packages.

i.e.

sudo apt-get install X

where X is located in a private server only accessible to me and others with permissions?

If so, how would one go about doing this?

(Essentially X would just contain useful bash functions, my colleagues and I have developed)

Furthermore, can I apt-get install directly from github? E.g.

sudo apt-get install git+https://github.com/X/Y.git (something roughly along these lines)

You can specify password-protected APT repositories using

deb https://username:password@repo.example.com/ubuntu …

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d files.

You can store the desired packages on eg. a nsf. When this nfs is mounted somewhere on your computer you can simply install these packages with a command like: 

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file.deb

apt-get is simply a more advanced version for installing applications, it includes dependencies and downloads the needed files form the internet.

But maybe you are looking for something like this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/keryx-offline-package-installation-made-easy-in-ubuntu or this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal
