Upon installing it will likely prompt you to log into GitHub. To be more concise, installing it will help to automate the login process to GitHub. The last sentence was nearly word for word from the extensions description. REASON 4 INSTALLING - This is a GitHub extension that everyone using GitHub should use, but it also does something to help with Terminal integration that enables UI and CLIs to co-exist. Link to open in VS Code: vscode:extension/GitHub.vscode-pull-request-github ' GitHub Pull Requests & Issues Extension'.

(A) YES IT DOES! VS Code has an icon on the 'activity-bar' that can be used for logging in & out of your GitHub & Microsoft accounts. Code have a quick & easy mechanism built into its UI for switching between GitHub accounts?

The first question can be answered very quickly, whereas, Question-#2 will require far more explanation and contains the answer that you'll likely be looking for. The most important thing to note is as of 4, this is a working answer.

There have been 3 major edits (or revisions is probably the more appropriate term to use here), that were necessary in order to keep this answer relevant and up to date.
