Reproducing a Ganache Server across multiple computers

Question

There are multiple developers on the team and it seems as though we all want to be working on a specific test network with specific public and private keys with a specific number of users who all have a prespecified balance. We have chosen to work with Ganache.
Now I am aware of https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache-cli options with --account=. This does not allow for the specification of the public key of each user. What is the standard when recreating a network? Am I missing out on something fundamental to this process? What are my options?

Using ganache-cli, you can provide a mnemonic using the flag below, in order to produce the same pre-funded addresses and public keys every time you start ganache. The accounts flag just defines the number of accounts that you will create.

-m or --mnemonic: Use a bip39 mnemonic phrase for generating a PRNG seed, which is in turn used for hierarchical deterministic (HD)
account generation.

Per the comments - the addresses and private keys generated will be one to one regardless of the mnemonic.
