Use repeat notation to declare column tracks. The repeat value should be the keyword that collapses any empty tracks and auto-generates columns to fit the available space. Then, set the track sizes using the function that sets a track's minimum and maximum size. The min size should be 300px, and the max size should be 1 fraction of the available space.
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat (auto-fit minmax(300px 1fr);
}

repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr));

grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr));

First, you need to correctly pass the values to the repeat()
function. If you have a space between the parentheses and the repeat
keyword, CSS Grid doesn't know you want to use repeat notation.
Secondly, you need to use comma separated values with minmax
and the auto-fit
keywords.
So something like this will work.
(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr);
