First, ensure you have the Sequelize CLI installed. Then, run sequelize seed:create --name demo-user to create a seed file. Next, edit the generated file to define the data you want to insert.

What should I include in the seed file?

In the seed file, you should include the up and down methods. The up method contains the code to insert data, while the down method should remove it.
