Invoking notepad++ from Git Bash

Question

I am using msysgit in Windows 7. How do I invoke notepad++ from Git Bash, like we do it with our default notepad?

Like for example

name@usename notepad textfile.t

Answer 1

This config works for me

editor = \"/c/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/Notepad++.exe\" -multiInst

The multiInst argument is just to make it friendlier for interactive edits where you already have notepad++ open. (If Notepad++ is already open and you run the process again, it adds the file to your existing instance and then exits immediately, which git takes to mean you've finished)
