Development seed files

Development seed files are listed under gitlab/db/fixtures/development/ and gitlab/ee/db/fixtures/development/ folders. These files are used to populate the database with records to help verifying if feature functionalities, like charts, are working as expected on local host.

The task rake db:seed_fu can be used to run all development seeds with the exception of the ones under a flag which is usually passed as an environment variable.

The following table summarizes the seeds and tasks that can be used to generate data for features.
