I try echo $GID but get nothing. However, I can get 1000 by using id -g, what's the differences between them ?



id -u     => 1000
id -g => 1000
echo $UID => 1000
echo $GID =>


The output of id:



uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),113(lpadmin),128(sambashare),999(docker)


The output of groups:
