Welcome to the Grid Layout Tutorial! Grid layout is a powerful CSS technique for creating structured, responsive web designs. Let's dive into the essentials:

What is CSS Grid?

CSS Grid allows you to create two-dimensional layouts (rows and columns) with precision. It's ideal for building complex interfaces like dashboards or forms.
Key Features:

  • Easy alignment and spacing
  • Responsive design capabilities
  • Flexible and scalable

Getting Started

  1. Create a Grid Container

    .grid-container {
      display: grid;
      grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
      gap: 1rem;
    }
    
    grid_container
  2. Define Rows and Columns
    Use grid-template-rows and grid-template-columns to specify sizes. Example:

    grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr 200px;
    
  3. Place Grid Items
    Assign items to specific grid cells with grid-column and grid-row.
