If you want to make it so that your shell prints out dates in localtime for you, run `tzselect`
|
2026-08-13 04:08:39 +00:00
|
|
|
to find the correct time zone name that you'll need to export as the `TZ` environment variable.

for example, if you're in eastern time, add something like this
|
|
|
|
|
`export TZ="America/Detroit"`
