This question comes in top of Google search when you find "golang current time format" so, for all the people that want to use another format, remember that you can always call to:

t := time.Now()

t.Year()

t.Month()

t.Day()

t.Hour()

t.Minute()

t.Second()

For example, to get current date time as "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS" (for example 2019-01-22T12:40:55) you can use these methods with fmt.Sprintf:

t := time.Now()
formatted := fmt.Sprintf("%d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d",
        t.Year(), t.Month(), t.Day(),
        t.Hour(), t.Minute(), t.Second())

As always, remember that docs are the best source of learning: https://golang.org/pkg/time/

Time package in Golang has some methods that might be worth looking       func  Time  Format      func  t Time  Format layout string  string   Format returns a textual representation of the time value formatted according to layout  which defines the format by showing how the reference time       Mon Jan 2 15 04 05 -0700 MST 2006   would be displayed if it were the value  it serves as an example of the desired output  The same display rules will then be applied to the time value  Predefined layouts ANSIC  UnixDate  RFC3339 and others describe standard and convenient representations of the reference time  For more information about the formats and the definition of the reference time  see the documentation for ANSIC and the other constants defined by this package    Source  http   golang org pkg time  Time Format   I also found an example of defining the layout  http   golang org src pkg time example test go   func ExampleTime Format                layout shows by example how the reference time should be represented          const layout    Jan 2  2006 at 3 04pm  MST           t    time Date 2009  time November  10  15  0  0  0  time Local          fmt Println t Format layout           fmt Println t UTC   Format layout              Output         Nov 10  2009 at 3 00pm  PST             Nov 10  2009 at 11 00pm  UTC

Use  fmt Println t Format  20060102150405      as Go uses following constants to format date refer here  const       stdLongMonth         January      stdMonth             Jan      stdNumMonth          1      stdZeroMonth         01      stdLongWeekDay       Monday      stdWeekDay           Mon      stdDay               2      stdUnderDay           2      stdZeroDay           02      stdHour              15      stdHour12            3      stdZeroHour12        03      stdMinute            4      stdZeroMinute        04      stdSecond            5      stdZeroSecond        05      stdLongYear          2006      stdYear              06      stdPM                PM      stdpm                pm      stdTZ                MST      stdISO8601TZ         Z0700      prints Z for UTC     stdISO8601ColonTZ    Z07 00     prints Z for UTC     stdNumTZ             -0700      always numeric     stdNumShortTZ        -07        always numeric     stdNumColonTZ        -07 00     always numeric
