Working collaboratively on GitHub? Use a seed file to share data!

$ bundle install

seeds.rb

You now have a seed file in your db folder. It contains all the data that was in your local db.

Artist.create!([
  {name: "Matt & Kim", avatar_file_name: "MattKim2012FallTour.jpg", avatar_content_type: "image/jpeg", avatar_file_size: 104360, avatar_updated_at: "2015-02-11 13:20:32"},
