If there are many matlab edits in my folder, is there any command in matlab that can automatically read the edit in the folder and run it?

What do you mean? Do you want to locate any m-files that have been edited since some previous time? And then run those m-files or find the lines in the file that are different from some earlier reference version of the file? You know that dir can give you the time date stamp of the files, right?

something like this should work
folder = 'YourFolder';
mfiles = dir(fullfile(folder, '*.m'));
% loop over the files
for k = 1:length(mfiles)
file = mfiles(k).name;
try
% try to run the current m file
run(fullfile(folder, file));
fprintf('succesful run: %s\n', file);
catch
% print message if it failed
fprintf('failed to run: %s\n', file);
end
end
