I know how to get all categories with
get_categories
I think you’ve missed some of the arguments in get_categories. By default, empty categories (categories without posts) are hidden
'hide_empty' => 1,
To get categories without posts, simply set hide_empty to 0
'hide_empty' => 0,
Here is an example
$categories = get_categories( 'hide_empty=0' );
