"Git" is trademarked. You can't just arbitrarily use it for your own products—especially when Git plays almost no part—your service has everything to do with GitHub and essentially nothing to do with Git.
then github, gitlab, and others would also be in violation. if you read the information in your own link, they (Git and Github) are ok with other trademarks existing, which this would fall into. Particularly because it's not attempting in any way to imply it has any Git features. Thanks for the link though, good to know.

I'm intimately familiar with the policy outlined in that message. I suggest you reread it. It doesn't suggest any of the things that you say it does.
You'll see that github, and similar, were grandfathered in due to lucky timing. Those names would not be permitted otherwise.
