Whenever I make a comment/issue or commit. The time is off by 10 hours. I believe it is a timezone issue.

Is there a way to change my timezone for my github account?

Is you computer up to your current time and date? – Eight Days of Malaise Nov 21 '12 at 21:11

Unfortunately there is no such option. However, Github displays most dates in a relative style anyway - and that's based on your system time so those values are correct.

Not true actually. When I create an issue, I see immediately "crated 10 hours ago". – Kugel Nov 21 '12 at 13:06
Odd, works fine for me (CET) – ThiefMaster Nov 21 '12 at 16:08
You are right. My timezone is off on Linux. Fine on windows. – Kugel Nov 22 '12 at 13:33

fun-fact: sometimes the time on my laptop is ahead of the NTP time by ~1 second; github will then always tell me that I opened an issue or pushed something "in a few seconds". I kinda like that. – dom0 Feb 24 at 1:15
