Default project setup in gitlab

I am setting up Git to use for a bunch of small projects that will be shared between a few people. I have setup GitLab and everything is working but I would like to standardize how new projects are setup when created through the webpage. I cant seem to find any examples or info on if this is possible but basically for every project created I want to:

  1. Create a development branch
  2. Set development branch as the default branch
  3. Set master as a protected branch

I guess I am looking for something like a template for a bare project or config file that determines this kind of info. Is this something I can do through GitLab?

I am using GitLab-6.9.2 installed on Centos using the RPM from their site if it matters.

Since the question (2014), project templates were discussed here (2015) and here

Custom project templates are available in GitLab 11.2 (Feb. 2018), but only for GitLab premium.

Regular project templates, like the recent GitLab 11.9 (March 2019) for .NET, Go, iOS, and Pages, are available for everybody.

This is not so new idea in the project. I was looking arround and found that this was proposed here (maybe elsewhere too) and they are discussing some details on the development to this date: discussion.

Here is the issue on a fork on their github repo: Project Template for Project Creation #7069

For the branch of this feature: init_repo branch

I think that is a resource for a pull request to the main project, but doesn't seem to be available yet.
