1. Generally when you create a pipeline (Refer to Step 2 on this page <https://docs.gocd.org/current/configuration/quick_pipeline_setup.html#step-2-material>[1]), you give a value for the Branch field in the Materials page. 2. Now instead of giving an explicit value there, you can use Parameters <https://docs.gocd.org/current/configuration/admin_use_parameters_in_configuration.html> [2]. 3. In the parameters page of your pipeline you can define something like "BRANCH_NAME" and set the value as "master" or anything else as per your requirement. 4. After defining a parameter in your pipeline, go back to your Materials page and replace the Branch field of the material with the parameter name like *#{BRANCH_NAME}*.
PS: Parameters (along with templates <https://docs.gocd.org/current/configuration/pipeline_templates.html>) make your pipeline definitions more powerful in GoCD.
