Carbon::now() - only month

I couldn't find anywhere in documentation how to show current year or month with Carbon?

when i write this:

Carbon\Carbon::now('m');

it gives me the whole time stamp, but I just need the month

like 

date('m');

but it must be Carbon!

How can I achieve this?

use Carbon\Carbon;

$today= Carbon::now();

echo $today->year;
echo $today->month;
echo $today->day;
echo $today->hour;
echo $today->minute;
echo $today->second;

$now = Carbon::now();
echo $now->year;
echo $now->month;
echo $now->weekOfYear;

Update:

even this works since Laravel 5.5^

echo now()->month

I think you've already worked this out in a comment, but just for clarity: Carbon extends PHP's native DateTime class, so you can use any of the methods available on that, like format:

Carbon::now()->format('M');

(where M is the modifier for A short textual representation of a month, three letters)

I wanted to get the current month and got to this question, to get the current month:

$now = Carbon::now();
$monthStart = $now->startOfMonth();

Just use this in your any blade file for print year:

{{ \Carbon\Carbon::now()->year }}

You can use these both ways to get the current month

Carbon::now()->month;

or

Carbon::now()->format('m');
