The grid-gap property is used to specify the size of the gap between the rows, and between the columns. This property is a shorthand for the following properties:
- grid-row-gap, specifying the gap size between rows.
- grid-column-gap, specifying the gap size between columns.
Gap replaces the grid-gap prefixed property. But this prefixed property will be needed for browsers that implemented grid-gap instead of the gap.
