What is CSS Grid and how can I use it?

CSS Grid is a layout system that allows you to create complex web layouts easily. It uses a grid-based approach to position elements.

Can you give me a simple example of a CSS Grid layout?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  gap: 10px;
}
.item {
  background-color: lightblue;
  padding: 20px;
}

This creates a grid with three equal columns.

How do I make a responsive grid?

You can use media queries to adjust the grid layout based on the screen size. For example:

@media (max-width: 600px) {
  .container {
    grid-template-columns: 1fr;
  }
}

What are some common pitfalls when using CSS Grid?

Common pitfalls include not defining grid areas properly, forgetting to set a height for the grid container, and not accounting for browser compatibility.
