In fact, I wish to record "secrets" in gnome-keyrings, as seahorse does, and I am looking for tutorials which explain how to do so with bash scripts, which are the only "programs" I am able to write.
Then you might have a look at the secret-tool program (in the libsecret-tools package), which is a command-line client (so, it should be scriptable with bash) to the secret service [1].
(The "secret service" is the service responsible for managing the keyrings. Seahorse is only a client for that service, it does not manipulate the keyring itself.)
E.g., to store a secret into the default keyring:
$ echo -n "mysecret" | secret-tool store --label="A secret" \
hostname www.example.com
where "mysecret" is the secret to store, "A secret" is the name that
will be displayed in Seahorse, and "hostname www.example.com" is a key
value pair that you can later use to search for this secret.
To retrieve this secret: $ secret-tool search hostname www.example.comYou will not have to use GnuPG. In fact, as far as I know GnuPG is not involved anywhere --- the secret service daemon encrypts the keyring itself, it does not use GnuPG for that.
Hope that helps, Damien [1] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/secret-service/
