How can i make grid-(row or column): span 2 be responsive?
what i mean is, if i resize the screen to mobile, it should look something like output of col-sm-12

Also, if i comment out :nth-child(4) & :last-child, the output will look exactly like col-sm-12.

codepen code

.card-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));

  padding: 5px;

  1. You need a media query

      > :last-child {
        grid-column: span 0; /*Change this to 0*/
      }
    
      @media only screen and (min-width: 576px){
       > :last-child {
        grid-column: span 2; /*Change to 2 for screens larger than 576px*/
       }
     }
    

    Here you have a codepen, let me know if that helps

  2. Definitely a media query will help there! Css Grid is container based, so it’s very easy to reshape the whole layout with a media query! To make it even cleaner you could investigate about the grid-area feature

    I do cover all this in depth in this article here It is a very interesting subject
