grid-template-columns
Baseline is determined by this web feature being supported on the current and the previous major versions of major browsers.
The grid-template-columns CSS property defines the line names and track sizing functions of the grid columns.

Values
Indicates that there is no explicit grid. Any columns will be implicitly generated and their size will be determined by the grid-auto-columns property.
A non-negative length, giving the width of the column.
Is a non-negative dimension with the unit fr specifying the track’s flex factor. Each -sized track takes a share of the remaining space in proportion to its flex factor.
When appearing outside a minmax() notation, it implies an automatic minimum (i.e. minmax(auto, ) ).
Is a keyword representing the largest maximal content contribution of the grid items occupying the grid track. For example, if the first element of the grid track contains the sentence «Repetitio est mater studiorum» and the second element contains the sentence «Dum spiro, spero», maximal content contribution will be defined by the size of the largest sentence among all of the grid elements — «Repetitio est mater studiorum».
Is a keyword representing the largest minimal content contribution of the grid items occupying the grid track. For example, if the first element of the grid track contains the sentence «Repetitio est mater studiorum» and the second element contains the sentence «Dum spiro, spero», minimal content contribution will be defined by the size of the largest word among all of the sentences in the grid elements — «studiorum».
Is a functional notation that defines a size range greater than or equal to min and less than or equal to max. If max is smaller than min, then max is ignored and the function is treated as min. As a maximum, a value sets the track’s flex factor. It is invalid as a minimum.
As a maximum represents the largest max-content size of the items in that track.
As a minimum represents the largest minimum size of items in that track (specified by the min-width / min-height of the items). This is often, though not always, the min-content size.
If used outside of minmax() notation, auto represents the range between the minimum and maximum described above. This behaves similarly to minmax(min-content,max-content) in most cases.
Note: auto track sizes (and only auto track sizes) can be stretched by the align-content and justify-content properties. Therefore by default, an auto sized track will take up any remaining space in the grid container.
Represents the formula max(minimum, min(limit, max-content)) , where minimum represents an auto minimum (which is often, but not always, equal to a min-content minimum), and limit is the track sizing function passed as an argument to fit-content(). This is essentially calculated as the smaller of minmax(auto, max-content) and minmax(auto, limit) .
Represents a repeated fragment of the track list, allowing a large number of columns that exhibit a recurring pattern to be written in a more compact form.
The masonry value indicates that this axis should be laid out according to the masonry algorithm.
The subgrid value indicates that the grid will adopt the spanned portion of its parent grid in that axis. Rather than being specified explicitly, the sizes of the grid rows/columns will be taken from the parent grid’s definition.
Warning: The masonry value is from Level 3 of the Grid specification and currently only has an experimental implementation behind a flag in Firefox.
The subgrid value is from Level 2 of the Grid specification and currently only has implementation in Firefox 71 and onwards.
Formal definition
| Initial value | none |
|---|---|
| Applies to | grid containers |
| Inherited | no |
| Percentages | refer to corresponding dimension of the content area |
| Computed value | as specified, but with relative lengths converted into absolute lengths |
| Animation type | simple list of length, percentage, or calc, provided the only differences are in the values of the length, percentage, or calc components in the list |
