On Ubuntu 20.04, see my following relevant git variables settings:

GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
GIT_HOSTING=git@git.domain.com

I don't set the `GIT_HOSTING' variable at all. Then where does it come
from and what's the function of it?

This variable is neither set by nor respected by Git. It may be set by a
system file, or perhaps a snippet you copied into your user setup at
some point. Try:

  grep GIT_HOSTING ~/.bash* /etc/bash*

(that's not an exhaustive list of places the environment may get set up,
but it contains the likely ones).
