Create the Search Users Route

Before implementing our API to search GitHub users, let’s discuss what a user refers to and what it can do on GitHub. On GitHub, a user refers to an individual who has registered an account on the platform. Users on GitHub can create and manage repositories, collaborate with others on projects, contribute to open-source projects, and engage in discussions around code and development topics. When a user signs up on GitHub, they’re assigned a unique username that identifies them across the platform. This username is used to reference the user's profile, repositories, contributions, and interactions with other users. Users can customize their profiles on GitHub by adding a profile picture, bio, and other personal information. They can also follow other users to stay updated on their activities and receive notifications when they make contributions or interact with repositories. GitHub users can contribute to projects by creating and submitting pull requests, opening issues, commenting on code, and participating in discussions within the community.
