Integration tests in laravel are great, but the common way to maintain the database is a giant time sink of re-seeding and re-migrating for every single test.

This command and bootstrap file aims to remove the needless reseeding and migrating (since you're using transactions anyways, right?) for every test and instead gives your tests a "clean" migrated and seeded db.

Works with `sqlite` and any others supported by Eloquent.
