function copyDataUniqueToColG() {
  const ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const sh=ss.getSheetByName('Master List');
  const shsr=2;//data start row on master list
  const shhr=1;//master list header row
  const hA=sh.getRange(shhr,1,1,sh.getLastColumn()).getValues().map(function(r){return[r[1],r[2],r[3],r[4],r[5],r[6]]})[0];
  const vs=sh.getRange(shsr,1,sh.getLastRow()-shsr+1,sh.getLastColumn()).getValues();
  const base='Sheet';
  let shts=ss.getSheets();
  //shts.forEach(function(s,i){if(s.getName()!='Master List'){ss.deleteSheet(s);}});//delete all other sheets
  const gvs=sh.getRange(shsr,7,sh.getLastRow()-shsr+1,1).getValues().map(function(r){return r[0]});
  const s=new Set(gvs);
  const g=[...s];//g has unique values now
  g.forEach(function(v,i){
    let sA=[];
    ss.getSheets().forEach(function(obj){sA.push(obj.getName())});
    if(sA.indexOf(v)==-1){ss.insertSheet(v);}
    let aA=[]
    aA.push(hA);//start with header row
    vs.forEach(function(r,j){
      //compare to column G value
      if(r[6]==v) {
        aA.push([r[1],r[2],r[3],r[4],r[5],r[6]]);//add rows that match
      }
    });
    let dsh=ss.getSheetByName(v);
    dsh.getRange(1,1,aA.length,aA[0].length).setValues(aA);
    SpreadsheetApp.flush();//not really necessary but fun to watch the progress
  });
}  

Answer 1

Here is a sample code to solve your problem:

function distributeMasterToSheets(){
  // Get all sheets except master list
  var allSheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
  var destinationSheets = allSheets.slice(1);
  // And set the sheet name dependent formula in range A1 
  destinationSheets.forEach(
    function(sheet){
      sheet.getRange("A1").setFormula("=QUERY('Master List'!A:M,\"select * where G = '"+sheet.getName()+"'\",1)")
    }
  )  
}

The following documentation is where the methods used are explained, I suggest you go through some quickstarts to get the hang of it.
