Reaching to a directory in git-bash
I have created a directory named Temporary_add_to_version_control on Desktop. Now I am trying to reach that directory by typing the following in git-bash:
cd ~/Desktop/Temporary_add_to_version_control/
I am getting the error message:
bash: cd: /c/Users/username/Desktop/Temporary_add_to_version_control/: No such file or directory
Why am I getting this error message? How do I get to my directory?

You can narrow down the problem by using cd to navigate to the different nested directories in the path one at a time, starting from the one on the left. The first one that gives you an error tells you that this is the directory causing the problem.
In this particular case, you could try the following in this order:
cd ~
cd ~/Desktop
cd ~/Desktop/Temporary_add_to_version_control
Once you have identified which directory is causing the problem, you can edit the question to add more detail, or post a self answer to the question if narrowing down helped you solve the problem yourself.
