Convert date time in another timezone with offset value in ruby

Question

I am fairly new to ruby. I have a date value say "2014-12-15T19:56:59Z" and an offset value say "-06:00". How can I convert the given date time in the timezone given by offset value.

BTW, −06:00 is an _offset_ and multiple time zones can have this offset during the year. — Stefan, Jan 07 '21 at 16:50

Using Time::parse and Time#localtime:

require 'time'

t = Time.parse('2014-12-15T19:56:59Z')
#=> 2014-12-15 19:56:59 UTC

t.localtime('-06:00')
#=> 2014-12-15 13:56:59 -0600
