The grid CSS property is a shorthand property that sets all of the explicit and implicit grid properties in a single declaration.
Using grid you specify one axis using {{cssxref("grid-template-rows")}} or {{cssxref("grid-template-columns")}}, you then specify how content should auto-repeat in the other axis using the implicit grid properties: {{cssxref("grid-auto-rows")}}, {{cssxref("grid-auto-columns")}}, and {{cssxref("grid-auto-flow")}}.

grid: auto-flow / 1fr 1fr 1fr;
grid: auto-flow dense / 40px 40px 1fr;
grid: repeat(3, 80px) / auto-flow;

[!NOTE] The sub-properties you don't specify are set to their initial value, as normal for shorthands. Also, the gutter properties are NOT reset by this shorthand.
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
/* <'grid-template'> values */
grid: none;
grid: "a" 100px "b" 1fr;
grid: [line-name1] "a" 100px [line-name2];
grid: "a" 200px "b" min-content;
grid: "a" minmax(100px, max-content) "b" 20%;
grid: 100px / 200px;
grid: minmax(400px, min-content) / repeat(auto-fill, 50px);
/* <'grid-template-rows'> /
[ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-columns'>? values */
grid: 200px / auto-flow;
grid: 30% / auto-flow dense;
grid: repeat(3, [line1 line2 line3] 200px) / auto-flow 300px;
grid: [line1] minmax(20em, max-content) / auto-flow dense 40%;
/* [ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-rows'>? /
<'grid-template-columns'> values */
grid: auto-flow / 200px;
grid: auto-flow dense / 30%;
grid: auto-flow 300px / repeat(3, [line1 line2 line3] 200px);
grid: auto-flow dense 40% / [line1] minmax(20em, max-content);
/* Global values */
grid: inherit;
grid: initial;
grid: revert;
grid: revert-layer;
grid: unset;
<'grid-template'>
<'grid-template-rows'> / [ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-columns'>?
: Sets up an auto-flow by setting the row tracks explicitly via the {{cssxref("grid-template-rows")}} property (and the {{cssxref("grid-template-columns")}} property to none) and specifying how to auto-repeat the column tracks via {{cssxref("grid-auto-columns")}} (and setting {{cssxref("grid-auto-rows")}} to auto). {{cssxref("grid-auto-flow")}} is also set to column accordingly, with dense if it's specified.
All other grid sub-properties are reset to their initial values.
[ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-rows'>? / <'grid-template-columns'>
: Sets up an auto-flow by setting the column tracks explicitly via the {{cssxref("grid-template-columns")}} property (and the {{cssxref("grid-template-rows")}} property to none) and specifying how to auto-repeat the row tracks via {{cssxref("grid-auto-rows")}} (and setting {{cssxref("grid-auto-columns")}} to auto). {{cssxref("grid-auto-flow")}} is also set to row accordingly, with dense if it's specified.
All other grid sub-properties are reset to their initial values.
