## Auto Enabling

isort will be auto-enabled if any *Python* files are present.

## Settings

isort supports the following config files:

* `.isort.cfg`

You can move these files to `.trunk/configs` and `trunk check` will still find them. See [Moving Linters](https://docs.trunk.io/code-quality/overview/configure-linters#moving-linters) for more info. Trunk Code Quality provides a default `.isort.cfg` if your project does not already have one.
