+##### Seeding the database
+
+Run `cp ./src/db/env.example .env` from the `root` directory to copy database url and store it an `.env` file.
+
+Run the `pnpm db:init` script as it will populate the database with an initial set of data to make some parts of our application work properly.
+
+:::note
+`pnpm db:init` script will run `db:migrate` and `db:seed`.
+
+`db:migrate` is responsible to run a migration to apply new changes to the database if any.
+
+`db:seed` is responsible to populate the database with an initial set of data.
