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:
```text
cd ~/Desktop/Temporary_add_to_version_control/
```
I am getting the error message:
~~```text~~
~~bash: cd: /c/Users/preet/Desktop/Temporary_add_to_version_control/: No such file or directory~~
~~```~~
Can someone tell me why am I getting this error message and how do I get to my directory?
