Is it possible to swap my current primary and backup emails on Github? My primary email is currently a student account which I will lose access to in a few years. Looking at Github's documentation it seems that to select a new primary email you first have to add a new address, however the email that I would like to set as my primary address is already added (as the backup email).

What you can do is, in the field for "backup email" you can switch your account from the current back-up account to "Allow all verified emails" and then Save. That will allow you to change your primary account from the drop-down menu to whichever account you want and again Save. Once done, you can again choose your new backup account from the drop-down menu and Save.
Quite some manual steps you need to go through for a simple transpose of emails... Not sure why they did it like that (although with all of the saves and what-not it makes some sense).
