Git Bash: Launch Application via Alias without hanging Bash (WIndows)

Viewed 7587

I've created several bash aliases in Git Bash on Windows, to launch executables from the bash shell.

The problem I am having is that is seems the bash is waiting for an exit code before it starts responding to input again, as once I close the app it launched, it starts taking commands again.

Is there a switch or something I can include in the alias so that bash doesn't wait for the exit code?

I'm looking for something like this...

alias np=notepad.exe --exit
