Describe the Issue

In the quick commands reference section of the setup guide, the command npm run seed is incorrectly described as "Parses all the challenge markdown files and inserts them into MongoDB."

This description is incorrect as the package.json script is only executing seedAuthUser.js, which only inserts users into the mongodb collection.
