+# Changing your time zone
+
+The global time zone configuration parameter can be changed in `config/gitlab.yml`:
+```
+    # time_zone: 'UTC'
+```
+
+Uncomment and customize if you want to change the default time zone of GitLab application.
+
+To see all available time zones, run `bundle exec rake time:zones:all`.
+
+
+## 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 update, add the time zone that best applies to your location. Here are two examples:
+```
+gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'America/New_York'
+```
+or
+```
+gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'Europe/Brussels'
+```
+
+After you added this field, reconfigure and restart:
+```
+gitlab-ctl reconfigure
+gitlab-ctl restart
+```
