How to reinstall global packages (e.g. after Node version change)?

What is the current behavior?
After changing Node version, I want to reinstall all my globally installed Yarn packages.

To do this, currently I have to reinstall each package by running yarn global remove and then yarn global add.

Ideally, there would be a command to do this for me, for all currently/previously installed global packages, i.e. those specified in ~/.config/yarn/global/package.json.

Perhaps we could use a yarn global install command to do this? Or is there another, pre-existing solution to this problem? I tried searching to no avail.

Note that nvm handles reinstalling global Node modules when installing a new version of Node: https://github.com/creationix/nvm#migrating-global-packages-while-installing. However, this doesn't seem to play well with global Node modules installed via Yarn: nvm-sh/nvm#1601 and nvm-sh/nvm#1601 (comment).

Any update on this yet? I don't know of any solution that exists for reinstalling all global NPM packages, which is quite annoying.
