yarn global add create-react-app doesn’t work with nvm

See original GitHub issue

At the request of @gaearon:

https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/global

The official Yarn documentation states that you can install (and maintain) your create-react-app project with yarn. However, it doesn’t actually work. Calling create-react-app after a global yarn install does nothing. CRA currently only works from a global npm install.

It would be great if yarn and CRA went together like chocolate and peanut butter.
