Answer 1

For me, re-installing openssh (not openssl) was the only solution.

brew remove openssh
brew install openssh

1. Update homebrew index and upgrade. (option)

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ brew update && brew upgrade
   

2. Try to remove the openssl@1.1.

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ brew uninstall openssl@1.1
   Error: Refusing to uninstall /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1g
   because it is required by ansible-lint, atk, cairo, gdk-pixbuf, glib, gnupg, gnutls, gobject-introspection, gsettings-desktop-schemas, gtk+3, gtk-doc, harfbuzz, ipmitool, ipython, irssi, itstool, krb5, libevent, libfido2, libpq, libssh, libssh2, libxml2, macvim, meson, nmap, openssh, pango, pgcli, postgresql, python, python@2, python@3.8, ruby, rust, s3cmd, sdcv, sphinx-doc, sshuttle, tcpdump, tmate, tmux, travis, unbound, vim, w3m, wget and zenity, which are currently installed.
   You can override this and force removal with:
     brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@1.1
   

3. Remove the openssl@1.1 with --ignore-dependencies args.

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@1.1
   Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1g... (8,052 files, 18.4MB)
   

4. Install the specific version of openssl v1.0.0.

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb
   

5. Lock the openssl version with v1.0.0.

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ brew pin https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb
   

6. Add this openssl into $PATH.

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
   

7. Apply this change of $PATH.

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ source ~/.bash_profile
   

8. DONE.

   [ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
   $ openssl version
   OpenSSL 1.0.2t  10 Sep 2019
   

Finally, the ssh / git / ansible were back !
