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

$ env |grep GIT
GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
GIT_HOSTING=git@git.domain.com
GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=true

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).

Looks like you might have "bash-it" set up:

Exactly. I forgot this. You're absolutely right, see below for more
detailed info:

$ grep -B1 GIT_HOSTING ~/.bash* /etc/bash*
/home/werner/.bashrc-  # Your place for hosting Git repos. I use this
for private repos.
/home/werner/.bashrc:  export GIT_HOSTING='git@git.domain.com'
