Description

I would like to be able to create the first (admin) user without the Web UI. After starting up gitea with gitea web, I would like to be able to use the admin CLI to create a user. However, since I am running in a container that may be restarted at any time, it would be best to have a way to check if a user is already created before attempting to create it.

Right now, you can just do gitea admin create-user ... and if the return code is 0, it was created. If it is 1, then the user may exist, or something else may have gone wrong. It would be better to be able to have a command that lists users instead of having to try and create it to see if it already exists.

So I am thinking something like admin list with flags like --name "oops" ( to use as a query to search for related users). But how would this deal with pagination if say 200 users exist, looks like a whole lot of data to fit in at once.
