Answer 1

The easiest option I found was to log out of settings sync (while preserving data locally), log into the preferred Github account and import the settings from local state:

1. Sign out of settings sync: open the command palette with shift + command + p and select "Settings sync: turn off" – DO NOT select the checkbox to clear your data from the cloud!
2. Turn on settings sync and sign into your new Github account: open the command palette and select "Settings sync: turn on"
3. Specify how to merge your settings data:

Merge: Selecting this option will merge local settings with remote settings from the cloud.

Replace Local: Selecting this option will overwrite local settings with remote settings from the cloud.

Merge Manually: Selecting this option will open Merges view where you can merge preferences one by one.
