Unfortunately there is no ideal way. If there is small number of new nodes and you can manually copy them over to main site in a hour or so, I strongly suggest you do that. Takes some effort, but nothing can go badly wrong. Then, when main site is verified to work OK you can refresh dev site too by db dump and file copy from main site, so they will be completely identical. Alternatively you could export these nodes as content packages with Package tool and import to main site. This could be ideal way, however package tool is tricky to use and often unreliable by my experience. It also loses node creation time and author, which is serious design flaw and makes it often unusable. But there is separate script to restore these (http://ez.no/developer/contribs/hacks/owner_id_creator_id_modified_and_published_synchronizer , NB! see comments about typos on bottom of page). Be sure to increase max execution time in your php conf, rule of thumb: 1 second per node to be imported. Third tool that may be useful is ezcsvimport and ezcsvexport scripts that come with distribution. Note however that they contain a bug, see http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=13616&activeItem=2 for fix.
