.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));
  gap: 0.5rem;
}

How to Implement the Grid Layout

Add the HTML Structure:

Create a container div with the class grid-container in your HTML file.
Inside the container, add child elements for each item you want to place in the grid.

<div class="grid-container">
  <div class="grid-item">1</div>
  <div class="grid-item">2</div>
  <div class="grid-item">3</div>
  <div class="grid-item">4</div>
  <div class="grid-item">5</div>
</div>

Apply the CSS Code:

Add the provided CSS code to your CSS file or within a <style> tag in the HTML <head> section.

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));
  gap: 0.5rem;
}

.grid-item {
  /* Add any specific styling for grid items here */
  padding: 1rem;
  background-color: #ccc;
  border: 1px solid #333;
}

Customize the Grid:

Adjust the number of rows, columns, and gap to suit your design needs.
Modify the .grid-item class to apply additional styling to individual grid items, such as background color or padding.
