Code Walkthrough and Explanation


grid-template-rows

In CSS Grid, the grid-template-rows property is used to define the height of the grid rows. It specifies the size of each row in the grid, which can be set to a specific length, a percentage of the grid container's height, or a fraction of the available space using the fr unit. Multiple values can be provided to create a grid with multiple rows of varying heights. The grid-template-rows property is often used in conjunction with the grid-template-columns property to create a complete grid layout.
