title: New Application Process from Bash Shell
body: <p>I'm relearning UNIX commands to use git on windows using MINGW32.</p>
  
  <p>When I launch a program, for example "$ notepad hello.txt" I can't use the shell again until I close the notepad file or CTRL-C in the shell.</p>
  
  <p>How do I essentially fork a new process so I can use both programs?</p>
