Grid properties work only within this relationship. Descendants of a grid container beyond the children are not part of grid layout and will not … Read more
CSS Grid isn’t suited for alignment across an entire row because of crisscrossing tracks blocking the way. Here’s a detailed explanation: Aligning grid items across the entire row/column (like flex items can) As an alternative, use flexbox with justify-content: center.

CSS Grid Layout (at least the current implementation – Level 1) cannot perform this task.
