How do I create a css grid layout?

The demo code we will use is as follows:

CSS.

...
.container {
        width: 800px;
        background-color: rgb(95, 118, 133);
        margin: 40px auto;
      }

      .item {
        padding: 30px;
        font-size: 30px;
        color: #ffffff;
      }

      .item1 {
        background-color: plum;
      }

      .item2 {
        background-color: mediumvioletred;
      }

      .item3 {
        background-color: chocolate;
      }

      .item4 {
        background-color: darkgreen;
      }

      .item5 {
        background-color: firebrick;
      }

      .item6 {
        background-color: olivedrab;
      }
...

HTML.

...
 <div class="container">
      <div class="item item1">item 1</div>
      <div class="item item2">item 2</div>
      <div class="item item3">item 3</div>
      <div class="item item4">item 4</div>
      <div class="item item5">item 5</div>
      <div class="item item6">item 6</div>
    </div>
...

The result is:

To make the above into a CSS grid layout we need to add the following line of CSS.

...
display: grid;
grid-template-rows: 140px 140px;
grid-template-columns: 140px 140px 140px;
...

The result is:
