When viewing a commit on GitHub, there is a file listed with #--># appended to it (see picture). What does...
GitHub Arrow
I'm viewing the diffs introduced by a commit to a repository on GitHub, and one of the files has the file name with this mysterious (to me) string appended to it. The file name is gulpfile.js and it is followed by 100755 --> 100644. Does anyone know what it means?

Basically this means that the commit removed the "executable" bit from the file, i.e. chmod -x was done by the commit author.
The numbers are in the same format as st_mode in Unix stat().
The first
10(octal) indicates a regular file. (04 is a directory, 12 is a symlink, 16 is a Git-specific value indicating a submodule.)The next
0644(octal) are the regular Unix permissions – the file is readable by everyone and writable by its owner. Compared to that,0755also means the file is executable by everyone.
(Note that Git doesn't store the real permissions, only a look-alike: it always stores 0755 if the file is executable and 0644 if it is not, and 0000 for directories and other non-file objects.)
You can see these values for local Git repositories by running git ls-tree <treeish>, e.g.:
$ git ls-tree HEAD
