This will output the date and time in the format described above, for example:

If you want to display the date and time in a specific format, you can use the + option followed by a format string. For example, to display the date and time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, you can use the following command:

date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

This will output the date and time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, for example:

You can customize the format string as needed to display the date and time in any desired format.
