Bash is my shell on Windows. How do I launch Sublime Text from the MSYS bash prompt detached from the console similar to launching it using "start /i " on a regular DOS prompt? This is my alias line in my ~/.bashrc file:

alias subl="/c/Program\ Files/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe"

But this does not detach from the console and I have to close the Sublime Text window or run a new console instance.

I guess you could add `&` at the end of the alias. – Daniel Figueroa Sep 11 '13 at 13:19
