Good afternoon everybody,
I’m planning to move my dev site (dev.mywebsite.com) to my main domain (mywebsite.com). I have been googling on how to do it for some time now and there are a bunch of different ways.
Can anyone share some experiences on how you have done it?

Well, i just did it with UpDraft Plus. Basically, you send a backup of your site to a remote server, and restore it from the site you want to. Works flawlessly in just a few minutes.
It seems too easy, did i do something wrong?
There are a few ways to skin this cat using backups. You can also just use Better Search and Replace to crawl the database changing all the https://dev To https://www then copy everything from the dev space to the www space.
Make sure you have a backup of whatever is on the www space already.
UpdraftPlus (already mentioned), Duplicator, WPVivid plugins or All in one WP migration that I prefer (and I use it as backup plugin as well).
