There is no any automated mechanism to create custom setting records dynamically. You can either create a generic method which would check if there are any custom setting record and if is empty then perform a DML operation and insert it.
In one of my project, we created JSON files and created a generic logic which would parse the JSON and create custom setting record if those are missing.
Else, I would recommend to switch over to Custom Metadata Types that would help you to deploy in between environments.
Hope this helps.
Post further here if you have any other questions.
Happy Coding!!

My scenario is when my application starting, it will run a basic check, if the custom settings is not ready, it’s trigger some thread to setup the custom settings programmatically.
