-This extension is a modernized extraction of the "Organize Imports" feature from the original [TypeScript Hero](https://github.com/buehler/typescript-hero) extension by Christoph Bühler. TypeScript Hero is no longer actively maintained, so we've rescued this valuable feature with a modern 2025 technology stack.
