Golang is a strictly typed language. It tells you hw to write clean code and it takes care of formatting.
Unlike many languages where formatting style is opinionated, in Golang it is defined by design.
Formatting
Golang CLI command fmt is used to format the file or files.

Run the below command.
1go fmt main.go

If you don't pass any argument then it formats the current directory.

Final Words
If you're using git then create a makefile or a bash file to format it before committing the code.
