Simply:

tasks.all {
    dependsOn(yourTask)
}

It's possible that you need to not make self-dependency though:

tasks.all {
    if (this != yourTask) dependsOn(yourTask)
}

Got a Circular dependency exception
your example use the gradle kotlin dsl ?

there is what i've tried:

tasks.all {
    if (this.name != "customTask") dependsOn customTask
}

and

tasks.all {
    if (this != tasks.getByName("customTask")) dependsOn customTask
}

this != yourTask does not work because my custom task is of type Exec

Using Gradle Kotlin DSL will prevent you from needing equals.
This should work but keep in mind it's using internal API, so they could change in the future:

tasks.all {
    if (this != yourTask && yourTask !in taskDependencies.getDependencies(this)) {
        dependsOn(yourTask)
    }
}

ow, i'm sorry it was not clear, i'm not using the kotlin DSL🤐

You can probably make it work in Groovy with only a few changes
