Ho to deal with Git warning "a host provider override was set but no such provider..."?

I worked in a git repository without issues. Some day after calling git pull I got the following warning

$ git pull
warning: a host provider override was set but no such provider 'gitlab' was found. Falling back to auto-detection.
warning: a host provider override was set but no such provider 'gitlab' was found. Falling back to auto-detection.
Already up to date.

Where does it come from and how to get rid of it?

Used Git Version

$ git --version
git version 2.31.0.windows.1
Solution

  • This is not a Git matter. The message is coming from GCM.

    https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/blob/14ff019ec854dfd8e41bd1e41e58bd8763888e58/src/shared/Core/HostProviderRegistry.cs

    See for example lines 109 / 110.
