Since 2009 X-shooter has collected spectroscopy of over 80 gamma-ray burst afterglows with redshifts ranging from 0.05 to 6.3. Thanks to its efficiency, broad wavelength coverage (3,000 to 24,800 Å), and intermediate spectral resolution (R~8,000) it has become the most efficient tool for gamma-ray burst afterglow spectroscopy. In this Focus Meeting we presented the sample and some preliminary results of the analysis of absorption systems.
