+# Importing
+
+Glide has limited support for importing from other formats.
+
+**Note:** If you'd like to help build importers, we'd love some pull
+requests. Just take a look at `cmd/godeps.git`.
+
+## Godeps and Godeps-Git
+
+To import from Godeps or Godeps-Git format, run `glide godeps`. This
+will read the `glide.yaml`, then look for `Godeps` or `Godeps-Git` files
+to also read. It iwll then attempt to merge the packages in those files
+into the current YAML, printing the resulting YAML to standard out.
+
+The preferred procedure for merging:
+
+```
+$ glide godeps # look at the output and see if it's okay
+$ glide -q godeps > glide.yaml # Write the merged file
+```
