## Issue Closes #16875 Clarify how Coder authentication works with Git providers, particularly the order of authentication methods used. ## Changes Made I've updated the External Authentication documentation to: 1. Clarify that Coder first attempts to use external auth provider tokens when available, and only defaults to SSH authentication if no tokens are available 2. Add more detailed explanations about both authentication methods 3. Improve the description of how the `coder gitssh` command works with existing and Coder-generated SSH keys ## Verification Claude verified that this accurately describes the behavior of the codebase by reviewing the `gitssh.go` implementation, which shows how Coder handles SSH authentication as a fallback when external auth is not available.
