Common Mistakes

• Tag case — Tags are case-insensitive. image:Tag and image:tag are the same image.
• Auth for 2FA users — Always use a personal access token as password, not account password.
• Delete needs all segments — REST delete endpoint requires owner, type, name, and version.
• Helm chart push — Use helm push with OCI format: helm push mychart-1.0.0.tgz oci://git.example.com/myorg.
