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

An alias is used with the git command, so with the one in your OP, you should be able to run git notepad. I don't think this is quite what you want, though. If you correctly added notepad++ to your PATH variable, then you should be able to just do notepad++. You can check this by running which notepad++. If this doesn't give the full path to notepad++, then the PATH isn't set correctly.
