## Description
<section id='description'>
<code>auto-fit</code> works almost identically to <code>auto-fill</code>. The only difference is that when the container's size exceeds the size of all the items combined, <code>auto-fill</code> keeps inserting empty rows or columns and pushes your items to the side, while <code>auto-fit</code> collapses those empty rows or columns and stretches your items to fit the size of the container.
<strong>Note:</strong> If your container can't fit all your items on one row, it will move them down to a new one.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
In the second grid, use <code>auto-fit</code> with <code>repeat</code> to fill the grid with columns that have a minimum width of <code>60px</code> and maximum of <code>1fr</code>. Then resize the preview to see the difference.

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>container2</code> class should have a <code>grid-template-columns</code> property with <code>repeat</code> and <code>auto-fit</code> that will fill the grid with columns that have a minimum width of <code>60px</code> and maximum of <code>1fr</code>.
    testString: 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));
