Hi Vitaliy, I actually think initializer is the right place to put those kind of stuff. Or, maybe do you want to put it in `bin/setup` so you would run it the first time after you clone your application?
Alternatively, there are a few data migration gems that you could use, but I think that's still not what you are looking for either, right?
