# First draft of the “AGL Demo Control Panel” documentation.

I started writing the initial draft of the documentation for AGL Demo Control Panel by following the steps provided in the official documentation of AGL.

cloning the docs

git clone "ssh://suchinton2001@gerrit.automotivelinux.org:29418/AGL/documentation" && scp -p -P 29418 suchinton2001@gerrit.automotivelinux.org:hooks/commit-msg "documentation/.git/hooks/"

The documentation for AGL Demo Control Panel will be found under 06 Component Documentation after it has been reviewed and merged.

# Minor Adjustments to UI
