But when I type "notepad++.exe" or "notepad++" I get "bash: notepad++: command not found". I did restart the terminal before testing to make sure that .bash_profile was loaded and path was updated. Is there something I'm doing wrong here or is this a bug?
That would be: /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/notepad++ -- assuming that's a *folder*
that contains notepad++.exe ...
Note that path (written PATH, and generally exported) contains folder names separated by colons.
To add to the end you can do:
export PATH="$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/notepad++"
Note: no \ in front of space inside the quotes.
