I received .bundle file in my gmail. I was told that it was a git bundle file. I tried to open it in sublime and I got a bunch of what seemed to have looked like hex values. It is suppose to be instructions for a code challenge. I have a mac. Any help would be very appreciated!

I needed to initialize the Git repository and add master to the end of pull as shown below:

git init
git pull file.bundle master

    when I try the git clone method I get this result in the terminal: warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. – user3266824 Jan 15 '15 at 01:24
  • @user3266824 that means it's not a selfcontained bundle. Pull into an existing clone that has the parent ref – sehe Jan 15 '15 at 01:34
