CSS Grid Gap
CSS Grid Gaps
The space between the rows and columns in a grid container are called gaps (or gutters).
The gaps are created between the grid rows and columns, not on the outer edges of the grid container.
The default size of the gap is 0, which means that there are no spacing between grid items.
