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

In your .bash profile add

alias myeditor="'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe'"

Give "\\" instead of "\".
