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:

```text
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.
