Multi-line flex containers and flex-grow

Unlike flex-shrink, the flex-grow property will work much more frequently in a multi-line flex container, and it will provide many more benefits.

Free space can be assigned to every line inside this kind of container, and the method that is used for redistributing this space will work in a line-by-line fashion.

Therefore, there will be quite a few opportunities to “stretch” flex items so that they fill the entire width of the lines.
