 See `gator expand –help` for more details. `gator expand` will exit 1 if there
 is a problem parsing the configs or expanding the resources.
 
+#### Non default namespace example
+
+This is an example setup where we include a `namespace` in a `manifest.yaml` that we plan on passing to `gator expand`.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: expansion.gatekeeper.sh/v1alpha1
+kind: ExpansionTemplate
+metadata:
+  name: expand-deployments
+spec:
+  applyTo:
+  - groups: [ "apps" ]
+    kinds: [ "Deployment" ]
+    versions: [ "v1" ]
+  templateSource: "spec.template"
+  generatedGVK:
+    kind: "Pod"
+    group: ""
+    version: "v1"
+---
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: nginx-deployment
+  namespace: my-ns
+  labels:
+    app: nginx
+spec:
+  replicas: 3
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: nginx
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      labels:

+---
+# notice this file is providing the non default namespace `my-ns`
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Namespace
+metadata:
+  name: my-ns
+```
+
+Calling `gator expand --filename=manifest.yaml` will produce the following output:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Pod
+metadata:
+  labels:
+    app: nginx
+  name: nginx-deployment-pod
+  namespace: my-ns
+spec:
+  containers:
+  - args:
+    - /bin/sh
+    image: nginx:1.14.2
+    imagePullPolicy: Always
+    name: nginx
+    ports:
+    - containerPort: 80
+```
+
+However, not including the `namespace` definition in the call to `gator expand` will exit with a status code of 1 and error out with:
+
+```
+error expanding resources: error expanding resource nginx-deployment: failed to mutate resultant resource nginx-deployment-pod: matching for mutator Assign.mutations.gatekeeper.sh /always-pull-image failed for  Pod my-ns nginx-deployment-pod: failed to run Match criteria: namespace selector for namespace-scoped object but missing Namespace
