Just add your .gitlab-ci.yml file to the default (master) branch. The file can contain a workflow:rules: that makes sure that pipelines are only triggered for commits to the master branch.

workflow:
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "master"'
      when: always

my_job:
  script:
    - make test # or whatever

Typically, you need this file present in all branches where you want pipelines to run. However, because you only want to run pipelines on the default branch, it's not super important that your branches contain the yaml.

Adding CI for all branches

If you did want to add CI to run on your other branches you could either merge/cherry-pick the change from the default branch into all your branches.

Alternatively, you can use the projects CI/CD settings to specify a custom configuration file that lives in another project. When you apply this setting, it will apply the configuration from the remote project to be triggered for all branches (or other pipeline events).
