.bundle is also used by Git. If you have a Git bundle, use Git to checkout from the bundle. It is basically just a remote repository residing on your filesystem.

4FWIW: Here's the Git documentation on bundle with examples git-scm.com/docs/git-bundle#_example And the all important: git clone -b master /home/me/tmp/file.bundle– AbelDec 12, 2015 at 21:41

VMWare Workstation for Linux is delivered as a .bundle file. It begins with a shell script, and can be run with
sudo sh ./myFile.bundle
You can use more to see the shell script at the beginning of the file.
