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

@SageMage's answer is right on spot.

Just a reminder. You need to close and reopen GitBash after after you make a change in .bashrc in order for it to be activated.
