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:

I assume you're using bash as your shell. Bash doesn't set a GID variable. The list of Bash variables mentions EUID and UID, but not GID.
Zsh, on the other hand, does set GID:
$ bash -c 'echo $GID'
$ zsh -c 'echo $GID'

@Coreyecho $GIDin my terminal would run it in zsh, since I use zsh as my shell. In your terminal, it might be run in bash. I usebash -c ...to run the command specifically in bash.
