Run matlab commands from a bash script

I'm wirting a shell script to automate a few tasks. From my shell script I start Matlab with the following line:

matlab -nosplash -nodesktop

After startting matlab I want to run a few commands for example:

path(path,'path to be added')

How do I feed these commands to my open instantiation of Matlab?

If you're using release R2019a or later, use the -batch startup option.

If you're using an earlier release, use the -r startup option.

Follow -batch or -r with the name of the script or function you want to execute or the list of commands you want to execute.
