Ganache-cli: How to keep accounts

[DavidKuennen]

Unfortunately, unlike the ganache application, ganache-cli creates completely new accounts on each restart. This is very annoying, because I always have to reimport a new account into my metamask to test my application.

Is there a way to keep the accounts in ganache-cli as well?

Ok, figured it out.

In the future your best bet is to ask questions like these in the Truffle gitter.

@DavidKuennen obviously there is no point of actually answering your own question once you found the answer.

run ganache-cli --deterministic to your options, this is insecure btw.
