# imp imp is an opinionated import formatter The order it follows is: ```text import ( ) ``` imp includes three flags: * `--write` will write out the formatting rather than printing * `--imp-ignore` reads a `.impignore` file for globs to include/exclude (`.impignore` by default) * `--verbose` will print out extended information ### `.impignore` format The `.impignore` file follows a [globber format](https://gitea.com/jolheiser/globber), which closely resembles a traditional `.gitignore` file.
