 From Source:
 
 Clone the repo and run the `build-and-run-container.sh` script. Or open it and run the commands manually. Sonar will run on port 9000.
+
+## Custom Quality Gates
+
+Take a look at `quality-gates.sh` in source code and adjust it to your needs.
+
+By default, that script will create a new `aem-gate` Gate and set the following Conditions:
+
+- Code Coverage - 75% required
+- Code Smells - A require
+- Maintainability Rating - A required
+- Reliability Rating - A required
+- Security Rating - A required
