How to stop git-bash shell from waiting for process to finish?
Based on a solution to How do I open a new git bash terminal window at my current location in windows? I can use
$ git-bash
to launch a new terminal from inside a git-bash console window.
However, this will block the original terminal which will be waiting for the result of the new git-bash.
Can I start a new terminal window without having it wait for the result?

@slhck Nice, I've added that as a .sh in the Git folder that's in my path and using that, if you add that as answer I can accept it.

In Bash, you can append & to run a command in the background.
In order to suppress its shell output (if any), you can also redirect its STDERR and STDOUT to /dev/null.
So, use this:
git-bash & > /dev/null 2>&1
When you close the window, the command should also exit in the background.

I can't edit as it would be under 6 characters :| I think I don't have enough rep yet

Yeah unfortunately it just said something like "Edits must be more than 6 characters. Can you change something else?". And I didn't want to make random changes so I left a comment instead :) Would be good to have a feature to trial your account as a low rep user so you could see what I was talking about :)

@AJP I remember that character restriction now that you've mentioned it – it's probably not such a bad idea. It's hard to keep all the minor rules in mind when you're not participating as much anymore as I used to. Anyway, thanks for your input!
