Can golang-migrate create date based files?

I want to create migrations that are date based 20241010173522, not sequential 001, 002, etc.

I see the cli command option -format

I'm expecting that you can do -format datetime or something similar.

When I run the below command, I get a file named datetime_initial_blank

I'm expecting 20241010173522_inital_blank

migrate create -ext sql -dir db/migrations -format datetime initial_blank

Is the only way with something manual like generating the datetime on my own and prefixing the file name, or can golang-migrate handle this on its own?

The format flag expects a golang time format.

For example

migrate create -ext sql -dir db/migrations -format 20060102150405 initial_blank

creates migration files

...\db\migrations\20241014135924_initial_blank.up.sql
...\db\migrations\20241014135924_initial_blank.down.sql

These are in UTC time.
