How to get_template_directory() properly on local environment

get_template_directory() returns a filesystem path– that is, it returns the path to the file as it would appear if you were browsing it on the local machine via a file browser.

Return Values

(string)
Absolute path to the directory of the current theme (without the trailing slash).

That is what you are seeing. The function works correctly (based on my interpretation of your question, anyway).

You want get_template_directory_uri() instead, which will give you a path relative to your web server root and which is what get_bloginfo('template_directory'); gives you.
