When i am in my project folder and use the command start index.html it works perfectly and opens up the file in my browser, however, when I use start new\ index.html it opens up the command prompt. Why?
Why does start file in gitbash open the command prompt and not the file?

Check first if adding quotes would help, in a git bash session:
start "new\ index.html"
Since it is not working, I tested successfully, after reading "mingw make can't handle spaces in path?", and using cygpath:
start $(cygpath -w -s "new index.html")
With:
cygpath -w -s "new index.html"
