Github is supposed to say "Executable File" in place of ** lines(** sloc) after putting the shebang #!/usr/bin/env node in. Instead it puts lines and SLOC. How can I make it say "Executable File" ?

The presence of a shebang in a script doesn't alone make the file "executable." It's just an instruction for how to execute the file when and if it is.
You'll need to change the file's mode to permit execution.
chmod +x {file} git update-index --chmod=+x {file} You can also review the file's mode with ls-files --stage:
# before chmod git ls-files --stage 100644 {commit} {length} {name} # after chmod git ls-files --stage 100755 {commit} {length} {name}
