# Changing your time zone
|
|
|
|
The global time zone configuration parameter can be changed in `config/gitlab.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
# time_zone: 'UTC'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Uncomment and customize if you want to change the default time zone of the GitLab application.
|
|
|
|
## Viewing available timezones
|
|
|
|
To see all available time zones, run `bundle exec rake time:zones:all`.
|
|
|
|
For Omnibus installations, run `gitlab-rake time:zones:all`.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
Currently, this Rake task does not list timezones in TZInfo format required by Omnibus GitLab during a reconfigure: [#58672](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/58672).
|
|
|
|
## Changing time zone in Omnibus installations
|
|
|
|
GitLab defaults its time zone to UTC. It has a global timezone configuration parameter in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
|
|
|
|
To obtain a list of timezones, log in to your GitLab application server and run a command that generates a list of timezones in TZInfo format for the server. For example, install `timedatectl` and run `timedatectl list-timezones`.
|
|
|
|
To update, add the timezone that best applies to your location. For example:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'America/New_York'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After adding the configuration parameter, reconfigure and restart your GitLab instance:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
|
|
gitlab-ctl restart
|
|
```
