Today I offer you a CSS tip. In CSS, gradients are very popular, they allow a clean and pretty design. It also happens that we want to use the "color" property to apply a gradient to a text, unfortunately at the moment this feature is not supported by web browsers. That's why I propose you a simple tutorial to apply a linear gradient to a text.
You can see below the final result:
default-tab
To do this, we will use "webkit" extensions. First of all we will add "-webkit-background-clip" which will allow to apply a gradient to the text.

Then we will add this property: "-webkit-text-fill-color" which allows to define the color used to draw the content of the letters.

Finally, we will apply the gradient with the property: "background", which is a fundamental property of CSS.
The complete code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
h1 {
font-size: 72px;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(350deg, #22c1c3, #fd2df5);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Text Gradient </h1>
</body>
</html>
