Hello,

I’ve saved my programs on a GitHub account.  
I want to switch from this GitHub account to another, so I clicked on “Unlink GitHub”. This correctly signs me out of my GitHub account.  
But then, when I want to push again, it defaults to the same GitHub account.

Therefore, I cannot change from GitHub account.

Do you know a way to change the GitHub account with make:code?

Thanks for any help.

Finally, I did the following actions as a workaround:

1. Unlink GitHub
2. Create a new _makecode_ project
3. Copy the code of the initial _makecode_ project using Javascript view
4. Paste the code to the new project in the Javascript view
5. Push to GitHub: it will ask for credentials, and so I could connect to this account and create the repository
