EDIT 2: he original answer at the bottom is now incorrect. The correct section of the linked source file (current 30/12/2019) is:

Gofmt formats Go programs. It uses tabs for indentation and blanks for alignment. Alignment assumes that an editor is using a fixed-width font.

Gofmt formats Go programs.
It uses tabs (width = 8) for indentation and blanks for alignment.

Original answer (deprecated):

Formatting control flags:
    -comments=true
        Print comments; if false, all comments are elided from the output.
    -tabs=true
        Indent with tabs; if false, spaces are used instead.
    -tabwidth=8
        Tab width in spaces.

Answer 2

The official recommendation is formatting your code with

go fmt

or using the gofmt command directly

gofmt -w .

You can read more about it here on the golang.org blog, or from the Effective go document:

Indentation
We use tabs for indentation and gofmt emits them by default. Use spaces only if you must.
