      summary: GitHub List the People User Follows
      description: The GitHub User API endpoint `/users/{username}/following` with the GET method retrieves a list of all users that a specified GitHub user is currently following. By providing a username as a path parameter, this operation returns an array of user objects containing basic profile information for each followed user, including their login, ID, avatar URL, and profile URL. This publicly accessible endpoint supports pagination and requires no authentication for public profiles, making it useful for building social network features, analyzing follow relationships, or displaying a user's following list in third-party applications.

      summary: GitHub Check if User Follows Another User
      description: This API endpoint allows you to check whether a specified GitHub user (username) is following another user (target_user). It performs a GET request to the path /users/{username}/following/{target_user}, where you replace {username} with the user you want to check and {target_user} with the user they might be following. The endpoint returns a 204 No Content status if the user does follow the target user, or a 404 Not Found status if they do not, making it a simple boolean check for following relationships between two GitHub users.
