What is this?

This simple ruby gem forces a process requiring it to use UTC timezone no matter what TZ value is configured in the environment.

Why do I need this?

I have created this gem to make sure our ruby projects would use the same timezone on development machines, testing containers, production servers and everywhere in between. Even when you try to configure rails and ruby to use a specific timezone, there is always some library that would use a system TZ value.
