Creating a child theme

In creating a child theme you need a few files. A functions.php, a screenshot.jpg and likely a style.css file.
The functions.php should contain the following code if you plan on using a style.css file:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() { wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() ); });
The style.css should contain this information. I decided to call it Gridd Child.
`/*!
- Theme Name: Gridd Child
- Template: gridd
- Theme URI:
- Author: Paal Joachim Romdahl
- Author URI:
- Version: 1.0.0
- License: GNU General Public License v2.0 or later
- License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
- Text Domain: griddchild
- Requires PHP: 5.6
- Tags: accessibility-ready, block-styles, wide-blocks, translation-ready, custom-background, custom-logo, custom-menu, featured-images, threaded-comments */`
(I am having a difficult time getting the above CSS to show as code.)
I made this creating a child theme as it just fint it important that a theme has a wiki on about what to add to a child theme of the Gridd theme even though there are a lot of tutorials about this.
