Rails: convert UTC DateTime to another time zone

Question

In Ruby/Rails, how do I convert a UTC DateTime to another time zone?

Answer 1

Just in case, if you are dealing with ActiveRecord object in Rails.

It might be a good idea to use Time.use_zone for a per request basis timezone that overrides the default timezone set in config.time_zone
