Hey Guest! Ever feel like entering a Game Jam, but the time limit is always too much pressure? We get it... You lead a hectic life and dedicating 3 whole days to make a game just doesn't work for you! So, why not enter the GMC SLOW JAM? Take your time! Kick back and make your game over 4 months! Interested? Then just click here!

A common source control repository both can push and pull. Github tends to be mentioned in this context for obvious reasons.

Oh, shoot, my GitHub account is flagged, don't ask why it is, but i would like a different way to do it.

Linux server and ssh access to the repository for both users.

Then just get an account at GitLab or BitBucket instead. GitHub is not the only place where Git repositories can be hosted.
Or get it unflagged, or get a new GitHub account... 
Also strong recommendation: use command line git instead of GM's built-in workflow. It's easier to use (once you practice with it a bit), and if you get problems, it's easier to google the solution.
[Quick start guide]
To send your changes to the repo:
git add -A OR git add onlythehandfuloffilesyouwanttoaddbecausetheotherchangesaren'tdoneyet
git commit -m "This is what I did"
git push origin master
To get your friend's changes:
(close GM)
git fetch
git pull
(reopen GM)
I'm not sure if you need to close GM or if it'll automatically detect changes to the project on the disk, so this step might be optional.
If you're more than two-three people it's probably a lot more painless if you use a branch/rebase/merge strategy instead of pulling changes into the same branch locally whenever anyone else pushes changes, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
