Use the items-stretch utility to stretch items to fill the container's cross axis:

<div class="flex items-stretch ...">  <div class="py-4">01</div>  <div class="py-12">02</div>  <div class="py-8">03</div></div>

Use the items-start utility to align items to the start of the container's cross axis:

<div class="flex items-start ...">  <div class="py-4">01</div>  <div class="py-12">02</div>  <div class="py-8">03</div></div>

Use the items-center utility to align items along the center of the container's cross axis:

<div class="flex items-center ...">  <div class="py-4">01</div>  <div class="py-12">02</div>  <div class="py-8">03</div></div>

Use the items-end utility to align items to the end of the container's cross axis:

<div class="flex items-end ...">  <div class="py-4">01</div>  <div class="py-12">02</div>  <div class="py-8">03</div></div>

Use the items-baseline utility to align items along the container's cross axis such that all of their baselines align:

<div class="flex items-baseline ...">  <div class="pt-2 pb-6">01</div>  <div class="pt-8 pb-12">02</div>  <div class="pt-12 pb-4">03</div></div>

Use the items-baseline-last utility to align items along the container's cross axis such that all of their baselines align with the last baseline in the container:

This is useful for ensuring that text items align with each other, even if they have different heights.

Prefix an align-items utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="flex items-stretch md:items-center ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
