Description

Having to rebuild the JAR when making a config change is annoying. Also, I'm paranoid that I'm going to accidentally commit the production login credentials at some point. If it's a separate file, I can put it in gitignore.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the application currently loads its configuration from within the JAR, then modify the code to support reading from an external file (e.g., via a command line argument or environment variable) and update the documentation accordingly.
