How do i remove timezone from Jekyll?

Question

Jekyll post.date or site.date seems to automatically have the timezone mentioned, is there any way I could change this? Or at least change timezone to UTC?

*In Linux Env

Answer 1

You can define the timezone in _config.yml like this:

timezone: UTC

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones for other values (TZ column)

Answer 2

Use the Liquid date filter to format the date however you like:

{{ post.date | date: "%a, %b %d, %y" }}
