title: Environment specific application.properties in springboot Application
body: <p>I'm trying to automate the process of deploying code using github and jenkins job to deploy my Springboot Application on AWS . </p>
  
  <p>I want to know where should I place the application.properties file in case I m deploying a war file on Tomcat and don't want this file to be pushed onto github as it may contain some database credentials , not to be exposed. </p>
  
  <p>Should I put separate application-prod.properties file in Tomcat (AWS) so that my war file will be independent of these properties ? </p>
