I got this said responsive grid,
where i want the nav to take up the first row,
I manged to accomplish that, however the height of the nav becomes half the page,
I've manged to figured out the the grid splits into 2 rows, based on the height the list was initially,
the row doesnt seem to take the new height of the list.

What i actually want the following items to appear just below it , the nav has alot of empty space below it.

The Html:

<div class="container">
       <nav>
           <header>
               <h3>BestBook INC</h3>
           </header>
           <ul>
               <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
               <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
               <li><a href="#">Services</a></li>
               <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
               <li><a href="#">Login class="fas fa-user fa-lg"__^
               </li>
               <li><a href="#">register ^__i class="fas fa-user-plus fa-lg"></a>
               </li>
               <li><a href="#">Log Out ^__i class="fas fa-sign-out-alt fa-lg "></a>
               </li>
               <li class="cart">
                   ^__i class="fas fa-shopping-cart fa-3x">
               </li>
           </ul>
       </nav>

The CSS:

.container{
    height: 100vh;
    width: 100vw;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(150px, 1fr));
    grid-gap: 1rem;
}

nav{
    grid-column: 1/-1
}
nav ul{
    display: grid;
    list-style: none;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(150px, 1fr));
    grid-gap: 1rem;
}
nav a{
    background-color: var(--primary);
    text-decoration: none;
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
    color:var(--dark);
    padding: 0.48rem;
    font-size: 1.1rem;
    box-shadow: var(--shadow);
}

Here's what you have at the moment:
Demo[^]

Your container takes up the full height of the page. Because you haven't specified any rows for the grid, that space is divided equally between all of the rows. If you have two rows, both will take up exactly half of the height of the grid.

Adding grid-auto-rows: min-content; will cause each row to only take up the space it needs for its content.

CSS

.container {
    height: 100vh;
    width: 100vw;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(150px, 1fr));
    grid-auto-rows: min-content;
    grid-gap: 1rem;
}
