Adding external script files for Shopify theme is pretty simple.
You just need to upload your script file to the asset folder of your theme file. Or you can create a .js file to paste your code there. After that you just need to include that script file to the theme.liquid file.
Just need to add the following before end of tag in the theme.liquid file.
{{ 'your-script-file-name.js' | asset_url | script_tag }}

i tried to do it,but it only displays a broken site

some of the js files are not inside assets

asset_url filter will search for the file in the asset folder of your theme

If the file is in the themes folder, then it's not "external" as the OP title asks for.

You can either download the script and upload it to the Shopify theme CDN to use or simply through the Script tag which can include the external JS file or link.
