If time zone is wrong on CentOS, you can come across weird issues. One of the things I came cross is Jenkins grabbing a wrong commit. Gotta fix the time zone.
Check the Current Time Zone
ll /etc/localtime
This command shows which time zone the system is set currently.
How to List Available Time Zones
Let’s list the available time zones.
timedatectl list-timezones
It shows quite a long list of time zones. Let’s grep it so you can find the one you want.
timedatectl list-timezones | grep Lo
It lists time zones that contains “Lo”. The time zone I want to use is America/Los_Angeles. I’m going to set the time zone to it.
Change the Time Zone
I’m going to change the time zone to America/Los_Angeles.
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Los_Angeles
Execute date command to check the current date, time and time zone.
