N2 - We introduce a notion of left homotopy for Maurer–Cartan elements in L∞‑algebras and A∞‑algebras, and show that it corresponds to gauge equivalence in the differential graded case. From this we deduce a short formula for gauge equivalence, and provide an entirely homotopical proof to Schlessinger–Stasheff’s theorem. As an application, we answer a question of T. Voronov, proving a non-abelian Poincaré lemma for differential forms taking values in an L∞‑algebra.
