Console command to create a user.

[beryllium]

Simple console command to create a user:

php artisan create:user email@example.com 'Example Name' exampleusername 'password'

What's the use case here?

I didn't want to use the form to register when I was running in dev mode (based on past experience of all kinds of things getting kicked off by that), and just needed to get the row added to the DB with a valid PW.

Aside from that, I've found CLI commands to be fairly useful for development, testing, and automation. Not typically for production usage.
