The Problem
-----------

[](#the-problem)

You need to push settings, config values, or default data to your database — but `php artisan db:seed` **always re-runs everything**. There's no way to track what's already been seeded.

The Solution
------------

[](#the-solution)

This package gives you **versioned seeders** — each one runs exactly once, tracked in a database table, just like migrations.

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require mahbuburriad/laravel-seed-migrations
```

The service provider auto-registers via Laravel's package discovery.

Run the package migration to create the tracking table:

```
php artisan migrate
```

---

Upgrading from v1.x
-------------------

[](#upgrading-from-v1x)

If you are upgrading from v1.x, run `php artisan migrate` after updating. The included migration will **rename your existing `seed_migration_versions` table to `seeds`**, preserving all tracked data. No manual steps required.

See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for the full list of breaking changes.

---

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### 1. Create a versioned seeder

[](#1-create-a-versioned-seeder)

```
php artisan seed:make 1.0 --desc="Initial settings"
```

This creates `database/seeders/versions/SeedVersion_1_0.php`:

```
