# --description--

`auto-fit` works almost identically to `auto-fill`. The only difference is that when the container's size exceeds the size of all the items combined, `auto-fill` keeps inserting empty rows or columns and pushes your items to the side, while `auto-fit` collapses those empty rows or columns and stretches your items to fit the size of the container.

**Note:** If your container can't fit all your items on one row, it will move them down to a new one.

# --instructions--

In the second grid, use `auto-fit` with `repeat` to fill the grid with columns that have a minimum width of `60px` and maximum of `1fr`. Then resize the preview to see the difference.

# --hints--

`container2` class should have a `grid-template-columns` property with `repeat` and `auto-fit` that will fill the grid with columns that have a minimum width of `60px` and maximum of `1fr`.

```js
assert(
  code.match(
    /.container2\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-columns\s*?:\s*?repeat\s*?\(\s*?auto-fit\s*?,\s*?minmax\s*?\(\s*?60px\s*?,\s*?1fr\s*?\)\s*?\)\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi
  )
);
```
