CSS Grid Alignment & Justification Without the Guesswork

The grid proper lives inside the parent element. It might be smaller.

Similarly the child elements are inside the grid cells. They may be smaller.

justify-* is always horizontal, align-* is always vertical. (Is that troe, or is it in inline resp. block direction? Doesn’t really matter as I won’t change these.

place-* is a shortcut for justify-* and align-*.

*-items moves the children within their cells. (For a child this can also be done with *-self.

*-content moves the grid within the parent.
