loggo displays logs in UTC and not in local time

[SR-G]

Hello,
Thanks for this package, it seems quite close to what i need - a simple logger system for golang.

I just have one issue : default formatter outputs everything with wrong time, for example, on my system (french hour in UTC+2) :

16:25 sergio@solaris ~/% date
Sat Jul 24 04:25:47 PM CEST 2021
16:25 sergio@solaris ~/% make run
2021-07-24 14:26:02 INFO  <myprogram>.go:174 <log from loggo>

(system time = 16:25pm, but loggo is display 14:26pm)

Edit : i know this can be overridden by changing formatter, but an option would be more out-of-the-box, instead of having to override DefaultFormatter

loggo.ReplaceDefaultWriter(loggo.NewSimpleWriter(os.Stderr, LocalLoggoFormatter))

(...)

func LocalLoggoFormatter(entry loggo.Entry) string {
	ts := entry.Timestamp.In(time.Local).Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05")
	// Just get the basename from the filename
	filename := filepath.Base(entry.Filename)
	return fmt.Sprintf("%s %s %s %s:%d %s", ts, entry.Level, entry.Module, filename, entry.Line, entry.Message)
}

you should be able to change the default formatter by updating the default writer. You can see the default formatter here: https://github.com/juju/loggo/blob/master/formatter.go You could write the same thing but changing `Timestamp.In(time.UTC)` to `Timestamp.In(time.Local)`. And then your writer becomes: localTimeWriter := loggo.NewSimpleWriter(os.Stderr, localTimeFormatter) loggo.ReplaceDefaultWriter(localTimeWriter)
