How to remove leading zeros in a variable or a string? The variable x is declared using the typeset command. The -Z option of typeset will strip the leading zeros present when used along with -L option. The expression '^0*' will search for a sequence of 0's in the beginning and delete them.
date +%S. Displays seconds [00-59] date +%N. Displays in Nanoseconds.
Bash Date format YYYY-MM-DD To format date in YYYY-MM-DD format, use the command date +%F or printf "%(%F)T\n" $EPOCHSECONDS . The %F option is an alias for %Y-%m-%d . This format is the ISO 8601 format.
You have already removed the padding for the day, why not do the same for the month?
$ date +'%-d-%-m-%Y'

Here's a list of all padding modifiers from man date:
By default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes. The following optional flags may follow '%':
-(hyphen) do not pad the field
_(underscore) pad with spaces
0(zero) pad with zeros
^use upper case if possible
#use opposite case if possibleAfter any flags comes an optional field width, as a decimal number; then an optional modifier, which is either E to use the locale's alternate representations if available, or O to use the locale's alternate numeric symbols if available.
