Time formatting in IntelliJ

I like things to be organized, especially when it comes to things that I use every day. After the last update, the date format in IntelliJ IDEA was reset to the default settings. I found it because logs in the Git tool started to look unusual to me. This is a short tip on how to set up a date formatting in this IDE.

The options responsible for date formatting are located under File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Date Formats.

To change the date formatting (including the Git tool), it is necessary to change the date format pattern. Whether to use pretty formatting is up to you. I personally don’t use it.
