This package adds a new `artisan` command which offers a better way to seed your database: You can select the seeder from a selection and during running you will get feedback on what is being done.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

The easiest way to get started is to install the package using `composer`. You can do so by running the following command.
