Git Bash cant run commands after running subl

So I run $ subl and sublime opens, but then my command line goes blank, or infinite, not sure what its called.
example 

$ subl
|

I can type anything i want hit enter, goes to next line and so forth but nothing will actually happen until i close sublime. I've tried the solution from Can't type in git bash after I launch subl (windows 8.1 os) but adding the & after sublime_text.exe does not work. echo 'alias subl="C:/Program\ Files/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe&"' >> ~/.bashrc. This used to work perfectly for awhile but out of nowhere it started openning up the SAME file no matter what. Now its just openning up a blank page or whatever I was working on the last time sublime was open. Also just for clarity this is on windows 10 gnu bash 4.4.12(1) and sublime text 3.

Instead of defining an alias, try instead a script named subl that you can set in your $PATH (PATH a seen in your bash session)

#!/bin/bash
"C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $1 &

Then try and type subl or subl aText.

As the OP Brandon Benefield comments below:

The solution was after creating a file "subl" with the content mentioned above, I moved it to a folder simply named "bin" sitting in my home directory.
Now typing "subl" and "subl 'file_name.txt'" works.
