Hi there,
In the docs for pushing to Container Registry (https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry#pushing-container-images) it says to name the image

"
docker push ghcr.io/NAMESPACE/IMAGE_NAME:latest

Replace NAMESPACE with the name of the personal account or organization to which you want the image to be scoped.
"

What are some concrete examples of the naming convention? i.e. is NAMESPACE just a user name or org name? (i.e. ghcr.io/khalkie/helloworld:latest) or does it specify which type (i.e. ghcr.io/users/khalkie/helloworld:latest or ghcr.io/orgs/microsoft/helloworld:latest) or something like that?

Yes, the NAMESPACE in the docker push ghcr.io/NAMESPACE/IMAGE_NAME:latest command is simply filled with your personal GitHub username or organization name.
You don't need to add prefixes like users/ or orgs/ because GitHub will automatically recognize whether it is a personal or organizational account based on the access token (login/permissions) used.
