Answer 1

1. How can you set up a Git repository, where people A, B and C can pull?

You need to use ssh -protocol (ssh username@ipAddress), and provide ssh access to 3 people, by providing an account for them on the machine that hosts the repository (Source).

I recommend to provide SSH keys for your team members. Please, see the post. This allows them to clone by running, for instance:

git clone user@machine:/path/to/repo.git

How can you provide an account for 3 people?

If your files must be private, I recommend you to have an account at Github which costs you a few bucks. You can also set up a repo at your own server by Gitosis.

If your files can be open, I recommend you to use Github, since it is free for that purpose.
