git bundle a range of commits

On Github, I have forked from a repository named RepoBase to a private repository named RepoForked. I then went to create a local branch MyLocalBase on RepoBase and made 5 commits to it.

I want to now bundle these last 5 commits I made in MyLocalBase branch and unbundle them on RepoForked branch. How can I do this ?

The natural solution would be to add a remote and push:

git remote add RepoForked ../path/to/repoForked
git checkout MyLocalBase 
git push RepoForked MyLocalBase

But, if you must use git bundle:

cd RepoBase
git bundle create file.bundle MyLocalBase

cd /path/to/RepoForked 
git remote add RepoBase /path/to/file.bundle
git fetch RepoBase
git checkout -b MyLocalBase RepoBase/MyLocalBase

So instead of pushing directly, you would fetch from the bundle (which acts as a git repo, but presents itself as one file)
