--description--

In CSS Grid, the content of each item is located in a box which is referred to as a <dfn>cell</dfn>. You can align the content's position within its cell horizontally using the justify-self property on a grid item. By default, this property has a value of stretch, which will make the content fill the whole width of the cell. This CSS Grid property accepts other values as well:

start: aligns the content at the left of the cell,

center: aligns the content in the center of the cell,

end: aligns the content at the right of the cell.

--instructions--

Use the justify-self property to center the item with the class item2.

--hints--

item2 class should have a justify-self property that has the value of center.

js
assert.match(
  code,
  /.item2\s*?{[\s\S]*justify-self\s*?:\s*?center\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi
);
