How to quickly convert UTC/GMT time to local time?
- So when we call.toUTCString it converts the date in UTC format but in more readable form. New Date(' 04:00:00').toUTCString; // 'Sun, 28 Jul 2019 22:30:00 GMT' This method would be helpful in the frontend when you would want your user to show UTC date in a more readable format.
- To switch to UTC, simply execute sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, scroll to the bottom of the Continents list and select Etc or None of the above; in the second list, select UTC. If you prefer GMT instead of UTC, it's just above UTC in that list.
