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).
