# Changing your time zone **(FREE SELF)**
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
The global time zone configuration parameter can be changed in `config/gitlab.yml`:
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
```plaintext
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
# time_zone: 'UTC'
```
Uncomment and customize if you want to change the default time zone of the GitLab application.
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
## Viewing available time zones
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
To see all available time zones, run `bundle exec rake time:zones:all`.
For Omnibus installations, run `gitlab-rake time:zones:all`.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
This Rake task does not list time zones in TZInfo format required by Omnibus GitLab during a reconfigure: [#27209](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/27209).
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
## Changing time zone in Omnibus installations
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
GitLab defaults its time zone to UTC. It has a global time zone configuration parameter in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
2022-11-25 23:54:43 +05:30
To obtain a list of time zones, sign in to your GitLab application server and run a command that generates a list of time zones in TZInfo format for the server. For example, install `timedatectl` and run `timedatectl list-timezones`.
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
To update, add the time zone that best applies to your location. For example:
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
```ruby
gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'America/New_York'
```
After adding the configuration parameter, reconfigure and restart your GitLab instance:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
```shell
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
gitlab-ctl restart
```

## Changing time zone per user

> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/57654) in GitLab 11.11, disabled by default behind `user_time_settings` [feature flag](feature_flags.md).
> - [Enabled by default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/29669) in GitLab 13.9.
> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/29669) in GitLab 14.1.

Users can set their time zone in their profile. On GitLab.com, the default time zone is UTC.
New users do not have a default time zone in [GitLab 14.4 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/340795). New users must
explicitly set their time zone before it displays on their profile.
In GitLab 14.3 and earlier, users with no configured time zone default to the time zone
[configured at the instance level](#changing-your-time-zone).
