You can setup a shared repository you and your colleagues can push and pull from, use BitBucket or GitHub. Work on the theme locally, then push to the repository to merge the changes
Checkout http://teamtreehouse.com/library/git-basics to learn how to do it.

Courses Plus Student 19,602 PointsHi Sam, thank you very much for responding.
You are sure that BitBucket or Github can be used for WordPress? I can push and pull from repositories for WordPress? I know it being useful for Rails...

Collaborators can clone the project to their machine, modify code, run tests locally on something like MAMP before pushing back to the central repository.
Is that what you are looking for?
