bundle --help shows a help file that lists commands (i.e. install) and utilities (i.e. show). How do I view the details on how to use a specific command or utility?

I found this through trial and error in the command line:

bundle --help show
    bundle show [GEM]

        [--paths=List the paths of all gems that are required by your Gemfile.]
        [--no-color=Disable colorization in output]
    -V, [--verbose=Enable verbose output mode]

    Show lists the names and versions of all gems that are required by your Gemfile. Calling show with [GEM] will list the exact location of that gem on your machine.

So in general, type bundle --help <command or utility name>
