To get YYYY-MM-DD format for dates git log --date=iso is used.
To force dates in your local time zonegit log --date=local is used.
I was trying to combine both the options but it was a failure.
So is there a way (git log command) to get date (YYYY-MM-DD format) in my local time zone ?

NOTE: In addition, the date part is accepted in the following formats: `YYYY. MM. DD`, `MM/DD/YYYY` and `DD.
Git commits store both a Unix timestamp and a time zone offset for each commit.
There are actually two different timestamps recorded by Git for each commit: the author date and the commit date. When the commit is created both the timestamps are set to the current time of the machine where the commit was made.
When you run git log , by default you will see the author date. If you want to see commit date, you can use one of the many command line options, such as --pretty=fuller . Note the (slight) difference between the author date and commit date above. The author date is my original, unedited, commit time.
With git 2.7, use:
git log --date=iso-local
git 2.7 (Q4 2015), which introduces -local as an instruction.
It means that, in addition of:
--date=(relative|local|default|iso|iso-strict|rfc|short|raw)
you will also have:
--date=(relative-local|default-local|iso-local|iso-strict-local|rfc-local|short-local|raw-local)
You now can ask for any date format using the local timezone.

This can also be configured using git-config:
git config [--global] log.date iso-local
