# Changing your time zone
The global time zone configuration parameter can be changed in `config/gitlab.yml`:
```
# time_zone: 'UTC'
# time_zone: 'UTC'
```
Uncomment and customize if you want to change the default time zone of GitLab application.
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`.
With Omnibus installations, run `gitlab-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 GitLab Omnibus during a reconfigure: [#58672](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/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 update, add the time zone that best applies to your location. Here are two examples:
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:
```
gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'America/New_York'
```
or
```
gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'Europe/Brussels'
```
After you added this field, reconfigure and restart:
After adding the configuration parameter, reconfigure and restart your GitLab instance:
```
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
gitlab-ctl restart
```
