There is not anything like that to my knowledge the best you could do is link it to something like github and use that to share code.

We tried GIT, it deleted our mod files, we cant no more use the mod file.

But, we're very lucky, I harrased him to send me the whole thing yesterday night, so we still have a "backup" of yesterday's work

All that to say that GIT isnt working, and it's pretty ~~~~~~ to use teamviewer to write code in someone's else computer lul

You should use git, but I recommend that you use it with SourceTree which gives a graphical interface so it is a lot easier to understand what you're doing and so you won't accidentally wreck your code with powerful git commands.

 

I have a tutorial on using git and SourceTree for modding here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-publishing-to-github.html

 

Note that even with source control like git, if both of you work on the same class files at the same time it can be tricky to merge. So I suggest you divide up the work so you're working on different areas, and also make sure each of you checks in your work very frequently so you don't end up with large, complicated merge later on.

One of you did something terribly terribly wrong for that to occur.  That is in no way git's fault.

Well, you have to admit that git is dangerous in the hands of people just getting started with it because it has power to change a lot of files in one action. That is why I suggest using SourceTree since it give a graphical picture of what is going on (like your branches, head, etc.) to help people understand what's really going on.
