[Created new topic from https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/add-minutes-to-date/6142]

We’re four years later now. Would it be possible to get a function that just performs this operation for us, that doesn’t require a round-trip via UNIX time stamps (as described in Add n minutes to a given date)?

Motivation: UNIX time stamps are not timezone-aware, and thus any operations involving those have to be performed very, very carefully in order to not mess up anything.

Actually, they are timezone-aware. The timezone is UTC (offset 00:00).
