 If the chart has an associated provenance file, it will also be uploaded.
 
-You can optionally specify --version or oci://...:version as a safety check. When provided,
-it must match the version from Chart.yaml; otherwise the command will fail.
+Remote target formats:
+- oci://REGISTRY/REPO
+- oci://REGISTRY/REPO/CHART
+- oci://REGISTRY/REPO/CHART:VERSION
+
+When CHART is omitted, the chart name is derived from the package. When VERSION is omitted,
+it comes from Chart.yaml. Use --version as an optional verification. If set, it must match
+Chart.yaml or the command fails.
+
+Note: OCI tags do not support "+". Helm replaces "+" with "_" in tags when pushing and restores
+"+" when pulling.
 
 Examples:
 
 	$ helm push mychart-0.1.0.tgz oci://my-registry.io/helm/charts
 	$ helm push mychart-0.1.0.tgz oci://my-registry.io/helm/charts --version 0.1.0
