How to work in bash without waiting for the program to close?

Question

bash

Hello! Installed Git and am familiar with the Git-bash terminal.
Added aliases to .bashrc to run notepad++ and Sublime Text programs

alias np="/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe"
alias stt="/c/Program\ Files/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe"

Notepad++ starts normally, but Sublime Text starts up and Bash waits for me to close the editor, i.e. I can't enter anything further in the console until I close Sublime.
How can this be undone? And why is he waiting for the sublime, but not the notepad?
